MPU6050 Module GY-521 3 Axis Acceleration Gyroscope 6 DOF Module

The MPU6050 Module GY-521 is a 6 DOF (six degrees of freedom) motion sensor board that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in the MPU-6050 chip. It talks to an Arduino, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi over I2C and is widely used for tilt sensing, balancing robots, drones, gesture control and motion tracking.

What's in the Box

• 1 × MPU6050 GY-521 module

Tip: On an Arduino Uno connect SDA to A4 and SCL to A5 (on an ESP32 the defaults are GPIO 21 and GPIO 22). Mount the board firmly and calibrate the offsets at rest, because loose mounting and vibration add noise to the readings.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
