MPU-6050 (Gyro + Accelerometer)

The MPU6050 is an IMU (Inertial Estimation Unit) sensor, a portion of the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) family. It highlights a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. The MPU6050 module in addition called a magnetometer sensor.

It can identify acceleration up in three measurements (X, Y, and Z) and also measure angular velocity around those axes. This motion-tracking device is often used in applications such as detecting the orientation of a device, detecting movement, and measuring angular velocity. The Inertial measurement unit sensor contains some additional circuitry for interfacing with a microcontroller or other device.
