Overview

The DFRobot SEN0142 MPU6050 6 DOF IMU module integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer on a single chip, delivering accurate motion sensing for robotics, drones, wearable devices, and Arduino projects. Featuring a Digital Motion Processor (DMP), it supports advanced 6-axis and 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, enabling quaternion, Euler angle, and raw sensor data output. With a wide input voltage range of 3V–5V, the MPU6050 can be directly connected to Arduino and other microcontrollers for real-time motion tracking and gesture detection.

Key Features

  • Combines 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer in one chip

  • Programmable accelerometer range: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g

  • Gyroscope sensitivity: ±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 dps

  • Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for onboard MotionFusion and gesture recognition

  • I2C digital interface supports matrix, quaternion, Euler, and raw data formats

  • Embedded bias & compass calibration for improved accuracy

  • Compatible with Arduino and wearable electronics via I2Cdevlib

Specifications

  • Working Voltage: 3–5 V

  • Output: I2C digital (6/9-axis MotionFusion data)

  • Accelerometer: ±2g / ±4g / ±8g / ±16g programmable range

  • Gyroscope: ±250 / ±500 / ±1000 / ±2000 dps sensitivity

  • Data Format: Rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler angle, raw data

  • Dimensions: 14 × 21 mm

Applications

  • Robotics motion sensing

  • Arduino & DIY electronics projects

  • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

  • Wearable devices and gesture control

  • Navigation and balancing systems (e.g., Segway-type transporters)

  • Drone stabilization and motion tracking
