Works but needs pull-up resistors
Just a note for beginners, you might need external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL depending on your board. Otherwise, functions as described.

Good sensor, slight noise
The gyroscope data is accurate enough for my quadcopter project. Noticed some noise without filtering, but that's expected. Solid build quality.

Perfect for my balance robot
Works flawlessly with the Arduino IDE. Calibration was straightforward using available libraries. Great value for money.

Great for learning IMU basics
Bought this for a university project. Documentation online is plentiful. Arrived quickly and well packaged.

Reliable module
I've bought several of these Keyes modules. They are consistent and durable. Voltage regulator works well with 5V logic.
Q: Does it come with jumper wires?
A: This package includes the module and pin headers. Jumper wires are sold separately, but standard Dupont wires fit perfectly.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is 0x68. It can be changed to 0x69 by connecting the AD0 pin to VCC.
Q: Which library do you recommend for this?
A: We recommend the MPU6050 library by Electronic Cats or the standard Adafruit MPU6050 library available in the Library Manager.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator and logic level conversion, making it safe for 5V boards.
Q: Can this be used for outdoor navigation?
A: This sensor is suitable for relative positioning and stabilization. For absolute outdoor navigation, we recommend combining it with a GPS module.
