Perfect for my drone project
This gyroscope module works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The data output is stable and the I2C communication was easy to implement using standard libraries.

Works well with Raspberry Pi
Connected easily to my Raspberry Pi via GPIO. The only reason for 4 stars is that the soldering pads are a bit small for beginners.

Good value but needs calibration
Great sensor for the price. It took a bit of time to calibrate the zero-rate level, but once done, the angular velocity readings are quite accurate.

Reliable and compact
The form factor is small enough to fit into tight spaces on my custom flight controller. No noise issues detected during high-speed rotations.

Excellent for learning embedded systems
Bought this for a university project on motion sensing. The documentation online is plentiful, and the module itself is robust enough for student handling.

Fast shipping and great performance
Arrived quickly and was well packaged. Tested immediately and the sensitivity settings are very flexible for different use cases.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V logic levels?
A: Yes, the GY-50 module includes a voltage regulator and level shifters, making it safe to use with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
Q: Can this measure tilt angles directly?
A: This sensor measures angular velocity. To get tilt angles, you need to integrate the data over time or combine it with an accelerometer in a sensor fusion algorithm.
Q: What is the power consumption in normal mode?
A: In normal power mode, the typical current consumption is approximately 6.5mA at 3.3V, which is suitable for battery-powered applications.
Q: What library do you recommend for Arduino?
A: We recommend using the standard 'Wire' library for I2C communication along with specific L3G4200D libraries available in the Arduino Library Manager.
Q: Does it come with header pins soldered?
A: No, the module is shipped without header pins soldered to allow flexibility for breadboard use or direct wire soldering depending on your project needs.
