Key features of the MPU6050 accelerometer Module (GY521) include:

6-DOF Sensor: The module integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, allowing it to measure angular velocity (rotational motion) and linear acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes.

Digital Output: The MPU6050 communicates with microcontrollers or other devices through digital interfaces like I2C or SPI. This makes it easy to interface with popular development boards like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

High Precision: The MPU6050 provides high-precision measurements, enabling accurate motion tracking and tilt sensing.

Low Power Consumption: It is designed to consume low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

Gyro and Accelerometer Data Fusion: The module often implements sensor fusion algorithms to combine the data from the gyroscope and accelerometer, providing more accurate and stable orientation information.

Motion Detection and Gesture Recognition: The MPU6050 can be used to detect specific motions or gestures, such as shake, tilt, or freefall. Whether you're building a self-balancing robot, a gesture-controlled drone, or a robotic arm, this module empowers you to create machines that perceive the world around them.

To use the MPU6050 (GY521) module in your project, you need to connect it to a microcontroller or development board through the I2C or SPI interface. Then, you can read the sensor data and process it to obtain information about the device's orientation, angular velocity, and acceleration.
