The GY-6500 MPU6500 6DOF Sensor Module is a compact motion-sensing module designed to measure acceleration and angular velocity along three axes (X, Y, and Z). Featuring the MPU6500 sensor, it combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to provide six degrees of freedom (6DOF) motion data for electronic and robotics applications.

This module is suitable for measuring movement, detecting orientation changes, monitoring rotation, and analysing motion in real time. It can be integrated with compatible microcontrollers such as Arduino and ESP32 for DIY electronics projects, robotics systems, drone development, and motion-control applications.
