Works but documentation could be better
The hardware is fine, but I had to dig deep into forums to get the SPI timing right for my specific microcontroller. Once configured, it works as expected.

Good sensor, tricky soldering
The sensor itself is high quality and provides accurate motion data. However, the pins were a bit close together for hand soldering. Once connected, it performed well.

Perfect for my drone project
This MPU6500 module works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The SPI interface is fast and the data readings are very stable. Great value for the price.

Fast shipping and great product
Arrived quickly and was well packaged. Tested immediately on a Raspberry Pi using Python scripts. The angle calculations are precise.

Reliable for flight controllers
I have used several of these in custom flight controller builds. They handle vibration well and the data output is consistent. A staple component for DIY drones.

Excellent stability
Used this for a balance robot. The noise levels are low compared to older models, and the library support for STM32 is excellent. Highly recommended.
Q: Do you provide sample code for ESP32?
A: Yes, we provide a link to a GitHub repository with example libraries and code snippets for ESP32, Arduino, and STM32 in the product manual download section.
Q: Does this module come with header pins soldered?
A: No, the module typically comes with unsoldered header pins to allow for flexible mounting options. You will need to solder them yourself.
Q: What is the maximum sampling rate for the gyroscope?
A: The gyroscope supports a sampling rate of up to 32kHz internally, though typical usage via SPI often ranges between 1kHz and 8kHz depending on your filter settings.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V logic microcontrollers like standard Arduino Uno?
A: The MPU6500 operates at 3.3V. While some breakout boards have voltage regulators, you should use a logic level shifter when connecting to 5V microcontrollers to prevent damage.
Q: Can I use both I2C and SPI interfaces simultaneously?
A: No, you must select one interface mode. The AD0 pin is used to configure the I2C address, while the CS pin controls SPI mode activation. They cannot be active at the same time.
