MPU 6050 6 axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope

The MPU 6050 is a 6 DOF (degrees of freedom) or a six-axis IMU sensor, which means that it gives six values as output: three values from the accelerometer and three from the gyroscope. The MPU 6050 is a sensor based on MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) technology. Both the accelerometer and the gyroscope are embedded inside a single chip. This chip uses I2C (inter-integrated circuit) protocol for communication. The next 2 steps we will see the working principle of the accelerometer and gyroscope so that we understand the working principle of the MPU-6050
