Gorillacell Module 047: 6-Axis Gyroscope
Table of Contents
MEMS stands for Micro Electro Mechanical System. It is an input device used for measuring 3-dimensional motion, including acceleration, rotation, and magnetic orientation.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) Sensor module that features the MPU6050 chip. The MPU6050 integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope capable of detecting motion, tilt, and angular velocity. Some IMU modules may also include a magnetometer for measuring the surrounding magnetic field, enabling full 9-axis motion sensing.
BASIC INFORMATION
| Device | Category | Interface | Chipset | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Sensor Cell | Serial I2C | MPU6050 | I2C = 0x68 |
PINOUT
It has 4 pins which are
- GND - for the ground pin,
- VCC - for the supply voltage,
- SDA – for the I2C serial data pin, and
- SCL – for the I2C serial clock pin.
The Accelerometer module with MPU6050 driver chip can be access through I2C address 0x68.
