GY-521 module is a breakout board for the MPU-6050 MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) that features a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, a digital motion processor (DMP), and a temperature sensor. The digital motion processor can be used to process complex algorithms directly on the board. Usually, the DMP processes algorithms that turn the raw values from the sensors into stable position data.
The GY-521 breakout has eight pins:
- VCC (The breakout board has a voltage regulator.
- SCL (Serial Clock Line of the I2C protocol.)
- SDA (Serial Data Line of the I2C protocol.)
- XDA (Auxiliary data => I2C master serial data for connecting the module to external sensors.)
- XCL (Auxiliary clock => I2C master serial clock for connecting the module to external sensors.)
- AD0 (If this pin is LOW, the I2C address of the board will be 0x68. Otherwise, if the pin is HIGH, the address will be 0x69.)
- INT (Interrupt digital output)

I recently purchased this Gy-521 Mpu6050 Module and 3 Accelerometer for Arduino. The build quality is excellent and it is working fine. I had some hesitation regarding derives because my machine is Windows 10. But all the drivers are installed properly when I first plugged in the board through USB. Packing also good.

This is an excellent product for beginners helps with covers projects of varying complexity. The build quality of the product is among the best I have seen anywhere. It is also quite simple for intermediate level users to develop their product
