A compact breakout board for the MPU-6050, combining a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) on a single chip. The integrated DMP handles complex motion fusion algorithms, offloading processing from your microcontroller.

The breakout includes a 3.3V regulator and I2C pull-up resistors, so it can connect directly to 5V Arduino boards. Outputs pitch, roll, yaw, quaternion, and Euler angle data over I2C.

Key Features

  • 6-Axis Motion Tracking – 3-axis gyroscope + 3-axis accelerometer on one chip
  • Digital Motion Processor – Onboard DMP for motion fusion, bias calibration, and gesture detection
  • I2C Digital Output – Rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler angle, or raw data formats
  • 3.3V Regulator Onboard – Direct 3–5V operation without external regulation
  • Auxiliary I2C Bus – Connect an external magnetometer for 9-axis fusion
