Stemedu 5PCS MPU-6050 6DOF Accelerometer Gyro Sensor Module丨GY-521 3-Axis Gyroscope 3-Axis Acceleration丨16 Bit AD Converter Data Output IIC I2C for Arduino

I am quite impressed with these. If you spin it fast enough it needs to be restarted, here is some Arduino code to do that:const int MPU_addr=0x68; // I2C address of the MPU-6050int16_t AcX,AcY,AcZ,Tmp,GyX,GyY,GyZ;if (AcY==0, AcX==0){ Serial.println("Needs to Reboot"); Wire.beginTransmission(MPU_addr);Wire.write(0x6B); // PWR_MGMT_1 registerWire.write(0); // set to zero (wakes up the MPU-6050)Wire.endTransmission(true); Serial.println("Rebooted");delay(10);}

Tested one with a raspberry pico and the arduino core and I was able to have data graphing in about 30 minutes.I've not used the rest but if they're like the first I'll be very happy.

Worked great. Versatile in that they work with Arduino mouse and keyboard libraries. Awesome value for the price!

In my review I will try not to focus too much on the MPU6050 unit itself but rather the board. But as general guidance to other enthusiastic people out there, these low-cost inertial sensors require a lot of de-noising and calibration before being usable for most applications. Overall the noise characteristics of this sensor seem to be stable. (I had almost an identical output during the motion using four units).Some positives:1. Obviously, getting 5 sensors for this price is very good.2. Two different headers are provided with different angles (straight and 90 degrees). This is important if you want to fit your sensors inside a small box.Issues with the board:1. The board is a bit flimsy. So make sure that no unnecessary amount of pressure was used when bolting it down.

Taking a course on raspberry pi’s. Have not used them yet but have some ideas for a few of them.
