InvenSense MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyro Accelerometer Module

The InvenSense MPU-6050 parts are the worlds first MotionTracking devices designed for the low power, low cost, and high-performance requirements of smartphones, tablets and wearable sensors.

The InvenSense MPU-6050 incorporates InvenSenses MotionFusion and run-time calibration firmware that enables manufacturers to eliminate the costly and complex selection, qualification, and system level integration of discrete devices in motion-enabled products, guaranteeing that sensor fusion algorithms and calibration procedures deliver optimal performance for consumers.

The InvenSense MPU-6050 devices combine a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die, together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which processes complex 6-axis MotionFusion algorithms. The MPU-6050 sensor contains a MEMS accelerometer and a MEMS gyro in a single chip. It is very accurate, since it contains 16-bits analog to digital conversion hardware for each channel. Therefor it captures the x, y, and z channel at the same time.

The InvenSense MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyro Accelerometer Module contains the circuit board and 2 header strips (straight and right angled) as to see in the picture.
