ShillehTek MPU 6050 Pre-Soldered 6 DOF Accelerometer (2 pcs)

This product was exactly what I was looking for really great

Was very easy to configure took me about 15 minutes in total Appears to be accurate and works for my application as I expected I would recommend quality is always on point too from ShillehTek

Works great easy to use and saves me so much time Would buy again

I purchased this product because it is PRESOLDERED Therefore plug and play Its not that I dislike soldering however this drastically speeds up my process Fast shipping and a great product

I found that this module did a decent job of put the functions on a small board I had no issues with the board at all Seems quite responsive and is able to track relatively minor motions

This is an accelerometer acting on 6 individuated axial planes that comes in PRESOLDERED Everything is well labeled there was no damage to the module itself either The welds look clean and concise I also appreciate how theyre placed pronate to you Ras Pi or processor of your choice to give you a little extra room for any additional custom pieces youre moving around Although I havent had as long with it as Id liked I compared the actual output with some units Im very comfortable with and found them ACCURATE REPLICATABLE VERY WELL IMPRESSED

This can be used with any Raspberry Pi Arduino or other microcontroller with I2C communicationThis MPU6050 has a 3axis accelerometer and a 3axis gyroscope so you can detect changes of both speed and direction It also has onboard temperature sensor Digital Motion Processor DMP and can read from external magnetometerI like that you can choose from 4 different ranges 250 500 1000 2000 degreessecondThere is also tap detection user programmable interrupts and highG interruptThere are examples online to explain how to code for the MPU650 I was able to get a demo running pretty quickly using the available code I now have a project in mind to collect data from an RC carEnjoy

Was really happy with how tiny but accurate this turned out I have been working on several different stem projects recently and getting this one that was super easy to setup not to mention helpful to the project was exactly the solution I was hoping for So far its worked well and can detect even very subtle changes Hands down would get this again 1010

These are pretty standard MPU 6050 sensor modules that are supplied by multiple vendors They contain a 3axis accelerometer measures linear acceleration and 3 axis gyroscope It also has a temperature sensor but I did not use it It communicates over I2C with the host and it can also communicate via I2C to other devices like an OLED display and has a selectable addressI tested the modules basic functionality using an Arduino and Raspberry Pi Pico and the Adafruit libraries and sample code and they worked perfectly viewing via serial monitor They were packaged in a proper antistatic bag but overall the package is subpar and does not protect pins well hence minus one starThe modules come without any documentation but there is plenty of reference data and tutorials on the Web so using it wont be a problem even for a beginner

Cool device Uses an MPU6050 chipset which is basically industry standard I have used this chip plenty of times for robotics projects so its a welcome addition to the arduino tool kit One thing worth noting is that this is three axis with three addition measurements of gyroscopic acceleration across the same axis There are lots of amazing applications for these sensors but I personally like to use them for feedback data for active acceleration limitation in motion control systems when working on manufacturing robotics Pairs well with the adafruit MPU6050 library and the output float values from the functions easily integrate into your code

I recently purchased the MPU 6050 and I am extremely satisfied with its performance This accelerometer sensor is compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico and other models as well as Arduino The module comes in a pack of 2 which is great for my projects Great price and buy

TLDR easy to integrate poor pin protectionIm a not terribly experienced with embedded but this was easy enough I recommend you read the other vine reviews Like theirs mine suffered from poor pin protection and mine arrived bent and could have resulted in having to remove and resolder a new headerThe factory packaging is minus 1 point but so long as the vendor supports the product in such cases this is a minor issue for a good value 12 point45 stars

Nothing negative to say its small great and an awesome little sensor Coded right up with sample code and worked as expected Cant wait to see what I can use it for

The media could not be loaded I am refurbishing my custom built RC aircraft that uses an Arduino Uno as a flight computer In order to provide gyroscope and accelerometer sensor signals I got the ST SHILLEHTEK pair of MPU 6050 GY521 modules The MPU 6050 is an Inertial Measurement Unit with 6 degrees of freedom and has a MEMS gyroscope It also has a temperature sensor and a Digital Motion Processor DMP to integrate the signalsThe MPU6050 board allows using a VCC of 5V so there is no risk of burning out the board Also getting the temperature from the board is an added benefit It was very easy to setup and interface with the Arduino Uno using the I2C protocol Now I will integrate it into the flight computer and get fine control of the roll yaw and pitch in the RC plane

Great price for two of these sensors I was able to find a ton of sample code to use this with my Pico very simple The only thing I was not a fan of was the packing the pins had poked through the package No damage but would have been better to ship with some foam

These are great little sensors accelerometersand gyros 3 axes each I love that they use I2c to commutate as my display uses I2c as well so it uses less pins I downloaded the library and connected these to my Arduino for testing and both work perfect These will be a lot of fun to experiment with your imagination is endless with these

There was no documentation on how to use this board However I was able to find several references by searching on the Internet for GY521 Some of the results were useful It took me quite a while to get this working Only the first 4 pins are required to make this work The two SPI signals Vcc and GND I was able to observe the data using the Arduino IDE serial port monitor

These are fine for casual use the libraries are solid and theres plenty of sample code As others have noted theyre shipped in a staticsafe bag but without anything to protect the pins Mine arrived safely but I did have to straighten the pins

These MPU 6050 sensors works as expected running sample code on an Arduino The soldering looks good and the placement of the components is clean The pins survived shipping Overall this is a 2 pack of good quality sensors

MPU6050 is an established mature product No matter what operating system if any youre using attach it to your I2c bus grab one of the many tutorials sample drivers around and youre off The data sheet can be a little scary with many dozens of registers but in the simplest cases you only need to touch a few of them5 Stars Board is professionally made and its a quality component for easy breadboarding

Connect via I2C interface and use your favorite programming language MPU6050 libraries are availableI connected one to an ESP32C3 and used MicroPython to read the values with an available library Constantly changing accelerometer and gyro values are returned But it takes some additional programming beyond the generic library to make sense of the numbers Google is your friend After finding a project that uses the MPU6050 in a homebuilt gyrocopter reading the explanation of the gyro and accelerometer in that project went a long way to help me make sense of the MPU6050 values and write my own code to display useful values which seem stable and reasonably accurate

I havent incorporated these into a project yet but I intended to use them in a mobile robotI did however connect them up to an Arduino and verified they work as expectedThere was sample code readily available so it was little more than just connecting the right pins and running the test code

These sensors were pretty much plug and play once I collected the information about them I found the vendor had a youtube channel and related github repository with all of the code needed in three files After that it was mostly just playing around with it I was getting an error about my I2C connection but I just reset my Pico W and everything was working great with the example code output I was a little worried at first since there was no documentation that came with the package it turned out great and everything I needed was pretty easily available I compared to some other sources of information and they were all similar Having this presoldered so I could drop into my breadboard just made it that much quick to be up and running Im excited to pair this with a little car project and 1 inch OLED screen to get info out of that effort

Got these to use on my radio telescope It uses steppers which can potentially miss steps so I wanted some kind of sanity check to make sure its still pointing where it thinks it is These would be easier and cheaper than an encoder solution for me at least for elevation so I wanted to give them an evaluationIn the setup shown you can ignore most of that mess of wires Im only using 4 of them 5V Ground SDA and SCL SDA is connected to A4 on the Arduino Nano and SCL is connected to A5 I downloaded the FastIMU library through my Arduino IDE loaded up the Calibratedsensoroutput example and it all just worked I did make a couple small modifications to make it more readable using the Serial PlotterI multliplied the three accelData lines by 100 so that everything scales better on the plot SerialprintaccelDataaccelX1000 SerialprintaccelDataaccelY1000 SerialprintaccelDataaccelZ1000 and I added this line at the very end of void setup SerialprintlnXAccl YAccl ZAccl XRot YRot ZRot TempIn my plot shown I had rotated the board slowly in each axis one at a time Z then Y then X Output looks perfectAt a very minimum Ill be able to use this on the elevation axis as an inclinometer for a sanity check on the position of my elevation axis and if I go nuts with the math I could use the accelerometers for the azimuth The fact that it has a temperature sensor built in is a bonus as I do like to monitor various temperatures around the telescope

These are decent MPU 6050 sensors They contain a 3 axis accelerometer measures linear acceleration 3 axis gyroscope for measuring rotational acceleration It also has a bonus temperature sensor because why not add a temp sensor to an accelerometer It communicates over I2C with the host and it can also communicate via I2C to other devices like an OLED display and has a selectable addressI tested the basic functionality of both using an Arduino and the Adafruit libraries and sample code and they worked perfectly viewing via serial monitor I did not try to extend to an OLED display via I2C but I would presume it works as well Microchips generally work 100 or 0 so Im confident these are fully functional The only odd thing was that there was a bit of extra circuit board on each module that didnt get fully snapped off during the final manufacturing assembly You can easily snap it off yourself with some pliers but still you shouldnt have to They were packaged in a proper antistatic bagI am going to subtract 1 star for value and maybe for the extra bit of circuit board that didnt get snapped off because it makes the board bigger than it needs to be and maybe not everyone will know they can snap this end off Although the price is fair enough for 2 of these currently about 9 its a bit above the mid point of similar products Of course Ive verified these work perfectlyFinal Rating 4 stars Maybe just a bit more expensive than similar products on a price per unit basis but otherwise perfect

Just what I needed

Nicely soldered and works as expected

solid product well soldered and plugs in easily

Worked easily plugged straight into my pico without needing to solder Saved me some time for sure

Product works great thanks for making it easier
