MPU-6050 3-Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor

This MPU6050 module with Triple Axis Accelerometer is based on MPU6050 chip from InvenSense. It sports a 3 Axis Accelerometer and 3 Axis Gyroscope along with an onboard Digital Motion Processor. The Digital Motion Processor is capable of processing complex 9 axis MotionFusion algorithms. The gyroscope is used to measure the rotational velocity or rate of change of angular position over time, along the X, Y and Z axis. The MPU6050 module with accelerometer uses the MEMS technology. The accelerometer measures acceleration over time. It can measure gravitational acceleration along 3 axis, using which we can calculate the angle at which sensor is positioned. So, by using, accelerometer and gyroscope data together, very accurate information on the position of the sensor can be obtained.
