The MPU-6050 is a serious little piece of motion processing tech! By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.
This is the breakout board for the MPU-6050 makes this tiny QFN package easy to work into your project. Every pin you need to get up and running is broken out to 0.1" headers, including the auxiliary master I2C bus which allows the MPU-6050 to access external magnetometers and other sensors.

Gyroscope Features:
# The MPU-6050 consist of a 3 axis gyroscope which can detect rotational velocity along the x,y,z axis with micro electro mechanical system technology (MEMS). # When the sensor is rotated along any axis a vibration is produced due to Coriolis effect which is detected by the MEMS. # 16-bit ADC is used to digitize voltage to sample each axis. # +/- 250, +/- 500, +/- 1000, +/- 2000 are the full scale range of output. # Angular velocity is measured along each axis in degree per second unit.
Accelerometer Features:
# The MPU-6050 consist of a 3 axis accelerometer which can detect angle of tilt or inclination along the x,y,z axis with micro electro mechanical system technology (MEMS). # Acceleration along the axes deflects the moving mass which in turn unbalances the differential capacitor which is detected with electro mechanical system technology (MEMS). Output amplitude is proportional to acceleration. # 16-bit ADC is used to digitize the values. # +/- 2g, +/- 4g, +/- 8g, +/- 16g are the full scale range of output. # In normal position that is when the device is placed on a flat surface the values are 0g on x axis, 0g on y axis and +1 on z axis
