Perfect for my Arduino project

Works exactly as described. Easy to wire up using the I2C library. Readings are stable after calibration.

Reliable batch purchase

Ordered 10 units for our makerspace. All of them worked out of the box. Consistent quality.

Works well once configured

Took me a while to get the I2C address right, but that was my mistake. The module itself is solid and compact.

Good sensor, slight noise

Great value for money. There is some noise in the gyro data but nothing a Kalman filter can't fix. Shipping was fast.
