Does exactly what it says
No complaints about performance. The angle drift is minimal over short periods. Just remember to let it warm up for a few seconds before reading data for best accuracy.

Great value for money
Bought this for a university project. It's much easier to use than the raw I2C version because the onboard processor handles the fusion algorithm. Delivered quickly too.

Simplified my code significantly
Switching from a standard MPU6050 to this GY-25Z module reduced my code size drastically since I don't need the DMP library anymore. Solid build quality as well.

Perfect for quick prototyping
The direct serial output saves so much time compared to calculating quaternions manually. Plugged it into my Arduino and got angle data within minutes. Highly recommended for beginners.

Good stability, easy wiring
Works well for my self-balancing robot project. The tilt angles are stable when the module is stationary. Only minor issue is the documentation could be more detailed on calibration steps.

Reliable sensor module
We ordered ten of these for our lab kits. All units performed consistently with low noise levels. The serial interface makes integration with various microcontrollers very straightforward.
Q: What is the default baud rate for the serial output?
A: The default baud rate is set to 9600 bps. This can typically be changed via specific command sequences if your project requires a different speed.
Q: How do I calibrate the zero-angle position?
A: Place the module on a flat, stable surface and power it on. The module automatically calibrates its zero reference during the first few seconds of startup. Ensure it remains still during this time.
Q: Does this sensor provide compass or magnetometer data?
A: No, the MPU-6050 chip only contains a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It does not include a magnetometer for compass heading.
Q: Is there a library available for Python or Raspberry Pi?
A: Since this module outputs simple serial text strings, you do not need a specific hardware library. You can read the data using any standard Python serial library like pyserial.
Q: Can this module work directly with a 5V Arduino Uno without a logic level converter?
A: Yes, the module supports a wide voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, so it can connect directly to a 5V Arduino Uno safely.
