The MPU-6050 is what we call \"an oldie but goodie\" - this popular triple axis accelerometer plus gyro combo has been a staple of electronic projects for years, and Adafruit have finally gotten around to making a breakout for it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside are two sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity). The other is a gyroscope that can sense how fast the board is being twisted around. By combining this data you can tell how your project is moving through space\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdafruit based this breakout on the popular sensor, the MPU-6050. This compact sensor uses I2C to communicate and its very easy to use. Simply download the library and connect the SCL pin to your I2C clock pin, and SDA pin to your I2C data pin and upload the test program to read out accelerometer and gyroscoping data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make life easier so you can focus on your important work, they've taken the MPU-6050 and put it onto a breakout PCB along with support circuitry to let you use this little wonder with 3.3V (Feather\/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino\/ Metro328) logic levels. Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!).  They've even included \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/qwiic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSparkFun qwiic\u003c\/a\u003e compatible\u003cstrong\u003e \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt\"\u003eSTEMMA QT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e connectors for the I2C bus so \u003cstrong\u003eyou don't even need to solder!\u003c\/strong\u003e Just wire up to your favorite micro and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/lsm303-accelerometer-slash-compass-breakout\/python-circuitpython\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eyou can use the CircuitPython\/Python\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/lsm303-accelerometer-slash-compass-breakout\/coding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eArduino drivers to easily interface with the MPU-6050\u003c\/a\u003e and get motion measurements ASAP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fully assembled and tested.  Comes with a bit of 0.1\" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard.  Four 2.5mm (0.1\") mounting holes for easy attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions: 26.0mm x 17.8mm x 4.6mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Weight: 1.8g \/ 0.1oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLEARN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/mpu6050-6-dof-accelerometer-and-gyro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePrimary Guide: MPU6050 6-DoF Accelerometer and Gyro\u003c\/a\u003e - Tilting?
