The GY-521 MPU-6050 module communicates via I²C and is fully compatible with Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, and other Arduino-family boards. Simply connect SDA and SCL to your Arduino's corresponding pins and use the widely available MPU-6050 Arduino library to get started quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What is the difference between the gyroscope and the accelerometer on this module?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The 3-axis gyroscope measures rotational velocity (how fast the module is spinning around each axis), while the 3-axis accelerometer measures linear acceleration (including the force of gravity). Together, they provide full 6-DOF motion data, making this module ideal for orientation tracking, stabilization, and motion-detection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can the GY-521 MPU-6050 run on 5V?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. The GY-521 board includes an on-board voltage regulator, so you can safely power it directly from a 5V source (such as the 5V pin on an Arduino) without needing additional components. It is also compatible with 3.3V systems.\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?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes!
