Summary

The Accelerometer Gyroscope MPU6000/MPU6050 component provides 6-axis motion tracking with accelerometer and gyroscope capabilities. It communicates using the I2C interface and outputs motion data from both sensing elements plus temperature.

Description

The MPU6000/MPU6050 is a 6-axis MotionTracking device that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope in a single package. It features programmable digital filters, configurable full-scale ranges, and interrupt generation capabilities. The sensor provides high-fidelity motion data with integrated temperature sensing, making it suitable for applications such as motion control, gesture recognition, pedometry, and inertial measurement systems.
