Overview

Product Overview

The ShillehTek MPU6050 GY-521 V2 (unsoldered, single piece) is a compact 6-axis IMU that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope to measure motion, tilt, and rotation in real time for Arduino and other microcontroller projects. It uses I2C, so it is easy to wire and supported by tons of example code and libraries. Since this version is unsoldered, it is perfect if you want a clean custom build, plan to solder your own header pins, or are integrating the module directly into a prototype or PCB.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

It is an I2C 6-axis IMU, so it can be used with Arduino and other controllers that support I2C. Raspberry Pi projects can also use it through the Pi’s I2C bus with appropriate libraries.
No. This version is supplied unsoldered as a single module, so you should solder header pins, wires, or direct PCB connections before using it reliably on a breadboard or in a prototype.
The module uses I2C, with typical connections for power, ground, SDA, and SCL. It reports 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope data over the same bus; confirm your controller’s voltage compatibility before wiring.
It is useful for projects that need motion, tilt, or rotation sensing, such as robot orientation, self-balancing builds, gesture input, data logging, and basic inertial measurement experiments with Arduino or similar microcontrollers.
Common causes include unsoldered or poor solder joints, swapped SDA and SCL wires, missing power or ground, I2C not enabled on the controller, or a software library/address mismatch. Check wiring and run an I2C scanner first.
