6 DOF Gyro, Accelerometer IMU - MPU6050

This sensor was very useful for helping me appropriately navigate my robot in a project I was working on. Thanks to the onboard MPU I was able to get the sensor to act as a compass/magnetometer and provide information on the robots orientation, but without having to worry about the motors causing the sensor to malfunction and produce false outputs. Like other reviewers have said, this sensor is well worth the $10 dollars it cost!

I paid $40 for my first MPU 6050 from another vendor. Then I was lucky enough to find this little gem! Advantages: 1) smaller 2) has an LED so you know it's powered 3) costs only ten bucks! 4) pin headers included

Nice product! Powerful IMU

Works just as it should and is 5V tolerant plus has a very handy power LED indicator (a much more expensive version I bought elsewhere is 3.3v only). It does not have all the MPU6050 function pins broken out: it lacks INT, SYNC, etc. But if you don't need those (and you probably don't) then it can't be beat.

Comes with unsoldered pins header. Possibility to link a magnometer directly to it but kind of pointless. Power led to let you know it works.
