## Description

The Adafruit MPU-6050 breakout combines a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope in a single compact sensor, providing 6 degrees of freedom (6-DoF) motion sensing over I2C. A proven and popular IMU, the MPU-6050 is ideal for detecting orientation, movement, and rotation in robotics, wearables, and motion-tracking projects. The 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. Key Features 3-Axis Accelerometer – Measures acceleration and tilt (gravity sensing) 3-Axis Gyroscope – Measures rotational velocity I2C Interface – Simple two-wire digital communication STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection (cable not included) 3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – On-board regulator and level shifting Mounting Holes – Four 2.5 mm holes for secure attachment Pre-Assembled – Fully tested with header included for breadboard use Ideal For Robotics orientation and motion sensing Wearable gesture detection Self-balancing vehicles and drones Motion tracking and game controllers Package Contents 1× Adafruit MPU-6050 6-DoF Accel and Gyro Breakout (assembled and tested) 1× Header strip Resources STEMMA QT Overview
