Adafruit MPU-6050 6-DoF Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor

Adafruit MPU-6050 6-DoF Accelerometer and Gyroscope Sensor is a triple-axis accelerometer and gyroscope combination. Inside the breakout are two sensors, one of which is a 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell the user which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity). The other sensor is a gyroscope that can sense how fast the board is twisted around. Combining this data allows the user to tell how the project moves through space. This breakout is based on the popular MPU-6050 sensor. This Adafruit compact sensor uses I2C to communicate and is very easy to use.

Download the Adafruit library and connect the SCL pin to an I2C clock pin and the SDA pin to an I2C data pin. Upload the test program to read out accelerometer and gyroscope data. This device can easily use 3.3V (Feather/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino/Metro328) logic levels. Since the board uses I2C, it can easily connect with two wires. A SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connector for the I2C bus is included. Use the CircuitPython/Python or Arduino drivers to interface with the MPU-6050 and get motion measurements.
