How to use MPU-6050 device with Arduino MPU-6050 is a device which belongs to the IMU(Inertia Measurement Units) family. IMU sensors are very popular kind of sensors used in most of the embedded system projects and electronic devices. IMU sensors are used in self-balancing robots, drones, smartphones, wearable devices and more other devices to get the orientation of the device and to track movements in a 3D space. MPU-6050 is a combination of accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. It used piezoelectric technology to sense movements. This is an accurate device and significantly cheaper than other sensors.
