The GY-521 MPU-6050 module is fully compatible with ATmega328P-based boards such as the Arduino Uno, Nano, and Pro Mini. It communicates via the I2C protocol (SDA\/SCL), making wiring straightforward. Numerous open-source libraries (e.g., the MPU6050 library by Jeff Rowberg) are available for quick integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Does the module work with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. The GY-521 module includes an on-board voltage regulator and operates over a 3V–5V DC input range, making it compatible with both 3.3V systems (like ESP8266, ESP32) and 5V systems (like standard Arduino boards) without the need for additional level shifters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Do the header pins come pre-soldered?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module is supplied with header pins included. Depending on the variant received, pins may require soldering. They use a standard 2.54mm pitch, compatible with breadboards and standard PCB headers for easy prototyping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What data can the MPU-6050 measure?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The MPU-6050 measures angular velocity on 3 axes (gyroscope) and linear acceleration on 3 axes (accelerometer), providing a total of 6 degrees of freedom (6-DOF). This data can be used to calculate orientation, tilt, rotation, and motion in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is the GY-521 MPU-6050 module compatible with Arduino boards?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes!
