A proven and popular IMU, the MPU-6050 is ideal for detecting orientation, movement, and rotation in robotics, wearables, and motion-tracking projects.\n\nThe accelerometer measures gravitational force to determine tilt and direction, while the gyroscope senses rotational velocity — together they provide a complete picture of how your project is moving through space. The breakout includes a 3.3 V regulator and level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems, plus STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors for solderless I2C wiring.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n3-Axis Accelerometer – Measures acceleration and tilt (gravity sensing)\n\n3-Axis Gyroscope – Measures rotational velocity\n\nI2C Interface – Simple two-wire digital communication\n\nSTEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection (cable not included)\n\n3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – On-board regulator and level shifting\n\nMounting Holes – Four 2.5 mm holes for secure attachment\n\nPre-Assembled – Fully tested with header included for breadboard use\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRobotics orientation and motion sensing\nWearable gesture detection\nSelf-balancing vehicles and drones\nMotion tracking and game controllers\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit MPU-6050 6-DoF Accel and Gyro Breakout (assembled and tested)\n1× Header strip\n\n\nResources\n\nSTEMMA QT Overview\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":4769,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3886","price":25.98,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
