Best bang for your buck
Compared to buying these sensors individually, this module is a steal. No noise issues observed in the gyro data when properly filtered.

Reliable for educational kits
We bought ten of these for our workshop. Every single unit worked out of the box. Students found them easy to interface with Python and C++.

Good quality, clear documentation needed
The hardware itself is solid and soldering points are clean. However, beginners might struggle slightly without a specific library guide. Once set up, it works great.

Perfect for my DIY drone project
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino flight controller. All sensors are detected correctly via I2C, and the data is stable. Great value for a 10DOF board.

Excellent integration of sensors
Having the MPU6050, HMC5883L, and BMP180 on one small board saves so much wiring time. The voltage regulator handles 5V input perfectly.

Solid performance, compact size
Very compact design which helps keep the weight down on smaller quadcopters. The barometer readings are surprisingly accurate for altitude hold.
Q: Can I use this for underwater robotics?
A: While the sensors can measure depth via pressure, the PCB itself is not waterproof. You must house it in a waterproof enclosure for underwater use.
Q: What libraries do you recommend for reading the BMP180 sensor?
A: We recommend using the Adafruit BMP085/BMP180 library or the SparkFun BMP180 library, both of which are widely supported and easy to implement.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V Arduino boards like the Uno?
A: Yes, the GY-87 module includes an onboard voltage regulator, making it fully compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems like the Arduino Uno.
Q: Does this come with header pins pre-soldered?
A: No, the module is shipped without header pins to allow flexibility in mounting. You will need to solder your own headers or wires.
Q: What is the I2C address for the HMC5883L magnetometer?
A: The default I2C address for the HMC5883L on this module is typically 0x1E, but please verify with an I2C scanner sketch as configurations can vary slightly.
