Review: Precise Motion Sensing for Arduino Projects - I recently acquired the HiLetgo 3pcs GY-521 MPU-6050 Accelerometer Gyroscope Modules for my Arduino projects, and they have proven to be invaluable tools for accurate motion sensing and control. These modules integrate a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope, providing comprehensive 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion sensing capabilities. They utilize a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for precise data output via I2C communication, making them ideal for applications requiring real-time motion detection and orientation tracking. The modules are compact and easy to integrate with Arduino microcontrollers, offering flexibility in robotics, drone stabilization, gesture recognition, and more. Their reliability and performance make them suitable for both beginners and advanced users exploring sensor-based projects. Overall, the HiLetgo GY-521 MPU-6050 modules are an excellent choice for enhancing motion sensing capabilities in Arduino projects. They provide accurate data output and are versatile for a wide range of applications. Highly recommended for their quality and affordability.
Review: Using as a gyro with arduino - Works as expected as a gyro on smart car using arduino. There is some freezing of the x/y while z works. Does not always happen but no issues otherwise. Easy to use. Good value for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Using as a gyro with arduino
*by W***N on February 27, 2024*

Works as expected as a gyro on smart car using arduino. There is some freezing of the x/y while z works. Does not always happen but no issues otherwise. Easy to use. Good value for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value, but hard to use
*by R***J on July 14, 2023*

It comes in 3, which makes it a pretty good value for $10. However, it is extremely hard to setup, and start getting acceleration/angle data from it. It's extremely convoluted. Once it works however, it works accurately with a good offset. If there isnt an offset, the reading will drift off even when the sensor is still.
