6DOF Accelerometer Gyroscope GY-521 (MPU6050)

Input and Output:
• I²C Address: 0x68 or 0x69 (selectable via AD0 pin)
• Digital I/O Pins:
o VCC: Power input
o GND: Ground
o SCL: I²C clock input
o SDA: I²C data input/output
o INT: Interrupt output (optional)
o AD0: I²C address selection (connect to GND for 0x68, to VCC for 0x69)
Physical Characteristics:
• Dimensions: Approximately 20mm x 15mm
• Weight: Very lightweight, typically a few grams
• Mounting Holes: Included for easy mounting on PCBs or breadboards
Additional Features:
• Digital Motion Processing (DMP): Capable of processing complex algorithms onboard, reducing the
computational load on the host microcontroller
• Interrupts: Configurable interrupt pins for motion detection
• Temperature Sensor: Integrated for monitoring environmental conditions
• Built-in Filters: Low-pass filters for both accelerometer and gyroscope
• Auto Sleep Mode: Reduces power consumption when inactive
• Configurable Sensitivity: Allows for adjustment of the sensitivity ranges for both accelerometer and
gyroscope

The GY-521 MPU6050 is ideal for applications requiring motion sensing and orientation detection, such as
robotics, gaming controllers, and wearable devices due to its compact size, low power consumption, and
robust performance.
