The major down side to this product is that its difficult to find info on it (as said by other users). After finding some code, the unit seems to work pretty well... I used this board on a quadcopter to help with the inherent stability issues. Hopefully I'll save some people the time to dig up this information. Here is a link for those doing arduino projects: [...] --> See first comment on this post here's the source code for the I2C library I used: [...] --> See first comment on this post This library contains two helpful examples; one that allows the raw accelerometer and gyroscope values to be accessed, and the other calculates Euler angles, yaw pitch roll, world accelerations, and quaternions. If you using this with an arduino, make sure that the I2C library and a MPU6050 library are in the Arduino sketch folder, this will allow it to compile correctly. This was also difficult to find: The GY-521 breakout board is wired to the Arduino Mega as followed: Vcc - 3.3V GND - GND SCL - SCL (pin 21) SDA - SDA (pin 20) ADO - GND INT - D2 The GY-521 breakout board is wired to the Arduino Uno as followed: Vcc - 3.3V GND - GND SCL - D5 SDA - D4 ADO - GND INT - D2 Review: Fantastic chip, inexpensive but powerful - Chip worked very well with my Arduino. I've used analog accel/gyro sensors before (Razor 6dof), so this was my first encounter with digital. Getting it up and running took a little bit of digging, but there is plenty of information out there to guide you. The best tips I can offer you is to first find code to calibrate this thing. They HAVE to be calibrated to work properly. Jeff Rowberg is a name that will come up, he's written a lot of code for it, but the actual calibration script I found was by Luis Ródenas. You'll need to include the library file, MPU6050.h, but that should be all together. This calibration script will produce 6 calibration offset values... 3 for each of axis for both chips (3*2=6). From that point on you'll need to write those offset values to the chip at the beginning of your code using the function similar to, "accelgyro.setXGyroOffset(30)". So bottom line is, this is an excellent board, it seems very accurate (within tenths of a degree), and works quite well once it's calibrated. Best of luck! ## Features - Power supply :3-5v (internal low dropout regulator) - Communication modes: standard IIC communications protocol - Chip built-in 16bit AD converter, 16-bit data output - Gyroscope range: ± 250 500 1000 2000 ° / s ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008BOPN40 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,081 in Computer Internal Components | | Brand | REES52 | | Brand Name | REES52 | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 842 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00692011914492 | | Item Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Item Weight | 18.14 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Manufacturer | BlastCase | | Material | Silicon | | Material Type | Silicon | | Maximum Supply Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Measurement Accuracy | High | | Measuring Range | Gyroscope: ± 250, 500, 1000, 2000 °/s; Accelerometer: ± 2, ± 4, ± 8, ± 16g | | Model | REES-01 | | Mounting Type | Flange Mount | | Output Type | Digital | | Part Number | GY-521 | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 692011914492 | | Upper Temperature Rating | 85 Degrees Celsius | | Warranty Description | 30 Day Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** REES52 - **Item Weight:** 0.04 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1 x 1 x 1 inches - **Material:** Silicon - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RF2BSPAGL.jpg) ![Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bIBfneBML.jpg) ![Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g8MlQr59L.jpg) ![Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71koWY0OFgL.jpg) ![Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WJZ1yH-tL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: It had NO circuit diagram - or any details. just the small cct board and chip. ANy email sent to company bounces! They sent Norwegian mail to me???** A: The Arduino Playground site discusses this board under the MPU-6050 page, scroll down to the GY-521 section at http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/MPU-6050. **Q: Does this use the same chip as that sold by Sparkfun and Digikey? If "yes", how can it be so cheap? Other places seem to sell just the chip for $14.** A: Sparkfun is renown for their massive mark ups, never use them for price comparison. Digikey is much better, but there is still a bit of a mark up. As of this comment, they are charging $5 per chip if purchased in bulk and $10 for individual chip. Chances are, this chip is legit but the board is Chinese made. **Q: Is there any need to add a logic shifter for the sda and scl pin coming from my arduino mega.... my arduino mega is delivering about 4.18v** A: Nope, no Logic voltage shift needed. **Q: Can you tell me the voltage output? I'm wondering if I could connect this directly to an IR Blaster. Thank you.** A: Spec sheet for the IC is here ( http://www.invensense.com/mems/gyro/documents/PS-MPU-6000A-00v3.4.pdf ), and it looks like this board has a linear regulator to let the 3.3V chip be supplied from 5V. So it looks like the outputs are at 3.3V. If that's the voltage of your IR blaster and the protocols are compatible, sure. If you're looking to use the 'Digital Motion Processor', you'll need to figure out how to program it -- I never took the time to. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good unit for the right price. *by A***W on December 13, 2012* I am fairly new to Arduino projects, so this was a perfect breakout board to get my feet wet.

Best of luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great breakout board and amazing price! *by E***F on January 15, 2014* I've picked up a few of these breakout boards for a senior design project. This 6 DOF ARG breakout is slick. There is a lot of open source libraries for this device around, and the data sheet is very easy to read if you want to write your own. This chip has a built in digital motion processor library that you can pull fused data from a FIFO buffer or just read the raw values. The MPU6050 is very easy to use and supports high speed I2C (400 Hz)! ## Frequently Bought Together - Gy-521 MPU-6050 MPU6050 Module 3 Axis Analog Gyro Sensors+ 3 Axis Accelerometer Module - HiLetgo 4pcs NRF24L01+ Wireless Transceiver Module2.4G Wireless Transceiver Module - Crazepony 4pcs 6x15mm Motor (Speed: Insane) 19000KV for Blade Inductrix Tiny Whoop Micro JST 1.25 Plug --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3560877-gy-521-mpu-6050-mpu6050-module-3-axis-analog-gyro](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3560877-gy-521-mpu-6050-mpu6050-module-3-axis-analog-gyro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
