Precise Motion Sensing for Arduino Projects
I recently acquired the HiLetgo 3pcs GY-521 MPU-6050 Accelerometer Gyroscope Modules for my Arduino projects, and they have proven to be invaluable tools for accurate motion sensing and control. These modules integrate a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope, providing comprehensive 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion sensing capabilities. They utilize a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for precise data output via I2C communication, making them ideal for applications requiring real-time motion detection and orientation tracking. The modules are compact and easy to integrate with Arduino microcontrollers, offering flexibility in robotics, drone stabilization, gesture recognition, and more. Their reliability and performance make them suitable for both beginners and advanced users exploring sensor-based projects. Overall, the HiLetgo GY-521 MPU-6050 modules are an excellent choice for enhancing motion sensing capabilities in Arduino projects. They provide accurate data output and are versatile for a wide range of applications. Highly recommended for their quality and affordability.

Using as a gyro with arduino
Works as expected as a gyro on smart car using arduino. There is some freezing of the x/y while z works. Does not always happen but no issues otherwise. Easy to use. Good value for the price.

Good value, but hard to use
It comes in 3, which makes it a pretty good value for $10. However, it is extremely hard to setup, and start getting acceleration/angle data from it. It's extremely convoluted. Once it works however, it works accurately with a good offset. If there isnt an offset, the reading will drift off even when the sensor is still.

Functional
Not sure if you would get more value out of a more expensive one. All features seems to work fine. Kinda fried one, but nice it comes with 3.

Convenient breakout boards for a reasonable price
Can't fault these boards, wired up fast and worked great on the Arduino WEMOS D1 Mini Pro with standard libraries. Video shows "tilt" controlled 3D rotation of a rectangular block on a tiny 128x64 OLED screen.

Excellent and easy to use.
I used these at work to design a unit dedicated to the purpose of taking acceleration (in g's) and logging that data to an SD card for plotting in excel. I used an ATmega328p and about 2-4 dozen lines of code to accomplish this. I believe I have my device maxed out speed wise at about 170 measurements per second. However, I believe the atmega is what's holding this back from going faster. Great tool! Look at the libraries, they were what helped me figure this out.

A new take on a flawed design.
It does work once you get past the design flaws. The design flaws: - LDO only works at 5v. - Signaling is not level shifted, even with an LDO in place. - Address pulldown is not strong enough. The LDO cuts out under load if fed 3.3v, which is the only acceptable voltage here because there are no level shifters in place. Once the LDO is bypassed, the device still won't respond until the address line is tied to ground in accordance with the datasheet as the pulldown is not sufficient. Once these two modifications are in place, it works pretty well. If you run this at 5v signaling, it will likely die.

Works as Expected. A great Bundle.
These work as expected. I purchased these for a class I teach to give the students hands-on experience. For the price, every student gets one.

Ho collegato il sensore alla basetta ESP8266 Huzzan con connessione I2C. Il sensore si basa sul chip MPU6050 e quindi ho scaricato una libreria compatibile per eseguire il test. Prima di utilizzare il sensore è necessario effettuare la calibrazione e la si esegue caricando nell'ESP8266 un programma di calibrazione. Dopo aver acceso il modulo è necessario porre in posizione orizzontale il sensore con le scritte rivolte verso l'alto. Attendere un pò di tempo ( anche qualche minuto ) dopo il programma restituisce a terminale i valori di offset da impostare nei programmi successivi. Il sensore risulta preciso e di ottima qualità.
