Learn how to use the MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module with the Arduino board. The MPU-6050 IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope sensor. The accelerometer measures the gravitational acceleration, and the gyroscope measures the rotational velocity. Additionally, this module also measures temperature. This sensor is ideal for determining the orientation of a moving object.
