Delivered All over Pakistan 🇵🇰

The MPU6050 6DOF Accelerometer Gyroscope integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. It utilizes the MPU-6050 motion processing chip with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP). The module supports input voltages from 3.3V to 5V via an onboard LDO regulator. Communication occurs through a standard I2C interface compatible with various microcontrollers. Gyroscope full-scale ranges are programmable at ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000 degrees per second. Accelerometer full-scale ranges are user-selectable at ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g. It features 16-bit analog-to-digital converters for simultaneous sampling of all axes. The pin pitch is standard 2.54mm for easy breadboarding. This sensor provides precise 6-axis motion tracking data for complex applications
