SparkFun 3-Axis Gyro/Accelerometer IC - MPU-6050 3-axis, SMD ICs

The MPU-6050 is a serious little piece of motion processing tech! By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor? (DMP?) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts. The parts? integrated 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms can even access external magnetometers or other sensors through an auxiliary master I2C bus, allowing the devices to gather a full set of sensor data without intervention from the system processor.

For precision tracking of both fast and slow motions, the MPU-6050 features a user-programmable gyro full-scale range of �250, �500, �1000, and �2000�/sec (dps) and a user-programmable accelerometer full-scale range of �2g, �4g, �8g, and �16g.
