Description
The GY-521 MPU-6050 (CHN Chip Edition) is a cost-effective 6-axis MotionTracking module designed for high-volume production and budget-conscious DIY projects. Featuring a black tantalum capacitor for enhanced power stability, this module provides reliable 3-axis acceleration and 3-axis gyroscope data for various motion-sensing applications.
Product Description
The GY-521 CHN Edition is a versatile 6-Degree of Freedom (6-DOF) sensor module built around a high-quality localized MPU-6050 chipset. This version is specifically optimized for efficiency and value, making it a preferred choice for educational kits, consumer electronics, and large-scale prototyping.
Despite its competitive price point, the module does not compromise on stability. It is equipped with a black tantalum capacitor, which offers superior ripple current handling and lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) compared to standard ceramic capacitors. This ensures the digital sensors receive clean, noise-free power, which is critical for accurate motion data. The board integrates 16-bit ADCs for every channel, capturing simultaneous X, Y, and Z motion for both linear acceleration and angular velocity. It communicates via a standard I2C interface, making it universally compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino, STM32, and Raspberry Pi.
