Good value sensor
Solid performance for the price. Calibration took some time but once set, it's stable. Suitable for hobbyist drone projects.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
Works flawlessly with the standard MPU6050 library. Easy to wire up and get reading angles quickly. Great for learning motion sensing.

Genuine chip
Tested the registers, seems to be a genuine MPU6050. No issues with noise so far. Voltage regulator on board is convenient.

Works well
Small form factor makes it easy to mount. Wish it came with header pins soldered though, but easy to add yourself.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is 0x68 when AD0 is low, and 0x69 when AD0 is connected to VCC.
Q: Does it come with sample code?
A: Yes, the product description includes links to schematic and example code repositories for Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Q: Can this be used for hobbyist drone stabilization?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in quadcopters for basic orientation sensing and motion tracking in hobbyist applications.
Q: What library do you recommend for this sensor?
A: We recommend the Adafruit MPU6050 library or the standard I2Cdev library for easy integration.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator, so it works safely with 5V logic boards like the Arduino Uno.
