In this article we will learn how to make MPU 6050 Pinout.

In the last post we will learn how to make Automatic Street Light control using Arduino project. You can visit our website,
I hope you appreciate my work, let’s discuss about today’s project.

Here is a Relevant Project:

Controlling of Servo motor with Arduino and MPU 6050.

What is MPU6050?

The MPU6050 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer into a single chip. It’s commonly used for motion tracking and orientation sensing in various electronic devices like drones, gaming controllers, smart phones, and other gadgets. The MPU6050 provides precise motion sensing capabilities, measuring acceleration along three perpendicular axes and rotational velocity or angular rate around those same axes. It communicates using protocols like I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) or SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), making it relatively easy to interface with microcontrollers and other digital systems.
