6 Axis Sensor - Accelerometer & Gyroscope

The MPU-6500 is a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor module that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It uses a digital motion processing (DMP) engine to offload complex calculations from the main processor, freeing up processing power and reducing power consumption. The module supports I2C and SPI communication protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers. Additionally, it includes an onboard temperature sensor, and the gyroscope has a programmable full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, or ±2000 degrees per second, while the accelerometer has a programmable full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g. The MPU-6500 is commonly used in applications such as motion tracking, virtual reality, and robotics.
