Good sensor, tricky setup
The hardware is great but finding the right library took some time. Once working, it's very accurate.

Pins were slightly bent
Sensor works fine after straightening pins, but packaging could be better to protect the headers.

High sampling rate confirmed
Tested the SPI speed and it handles 8MHz without issues. Great for real-time applications.

Reliable IMU module
We bought ten of these for our university project. All arrived functional and calibrated well.

Perfect for my drone build
Works flawlessly with my flight controller. Data is stable and noise is minimal. Highly recommend for DIY robotics.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V Arduino boards?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator, so it works safely with 5V logic.
Q: Is there a magnetometer included?
A: No, this is a 6-DOF sensor (Gyro + Accelerometer). For 9-DOF, you would need an additional magnetometer.
Q: What is the exact chip on the breakout?
A: This breakout board features the genuine InvenSense MPU6500 chip.
Q: Can I use I2C instead of SPI?
A: Yes, the MPU6500 supports both interfaces. You can select via the AD0 pin.
Q: Does it come with example code?
A: We provide a link to GitHub repositories with Arduino and Python examples in the documentation.
