MPU6050 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope Module
```The MPU6050 is a compact 6-axis motion sensor combining a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in a single device. It provides digital motion measurements over an I2C interface, making it easy to integrate with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi and other microcontroller-based systems.
The 3-axis accelerometer measures acceleration along the X, Y and Z axes, while the 3-axis gyroscope measures rotational motion around those same axes. The combined measurements can be used for detecting movement, calculating orientation and monitoring changes in motion.
The MPU6050 also includes an integrated Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which can be used to process motion data and reduce the processing requirements of the host microcontroller. The module is commonly used in balancing robots, robotic arms, drones, motion controllers, game interfaces and other projects requiring inertial motion sensing.
