The MPU-6050 is TDK InvenSense's popular 6-axis MotionTracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer in a small QFN-24 package. It is widely used in drones, RC transmitters, and motion-controlled devices. The MPU-6050 features an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) that can perform complex motion processing algorithms.
Key Features
- 3-axis gyroscope + 3-axis accelerometer in single chip
