Frequently Asked Questions

MPU-6000 vs ICM-42688P — which should I choose?

ICM-42688P offers 32kHz gyro sampling and better vibration filtering. MPU-6000 has wider firmware support and is the standard choice for Betaflight.

Can I use MPU-6000 with ArduPilot?

Yes, ArduPilot supports MPU-6000 via SPI or I²C interface on most autopilot hardware.

What is the DMP in MPU-6000?

The Digital Motion Processor (DMP) is an embedded processor that performs sensor fusion. Most drone FC firmware bypasses the DMP and handles fusion on the MCU for better performance.
