MPU6500 6-Axis Gyroscope Accelerometer Sensor Module (GY-6500)

Upgrade your electronics projects with the MPU6500 GY-6500 6-Axis Gyroscope Accelerometer Sensor Module — a high-performance drop-in upgrade for the popular MPU6050. Combining a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in one compact board, this 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) module delivers precise motion sensing for robotics, drones, flight controllers, wearables, and Arduino-based DIY builds.

Key Features

  • 6-Axis Motion Sensing: Integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to measure acceleration and angular velocity across three-dimensional space with high accuracy.
  • MPU6050 Compatible: Designed as a direct replacement for the MPU6050, making it easy to swap into existing project designs without hardware redesign.
  • Multiple Communication Interfaces: Supports IIC (I2C) and SPI protocols for flexible integration with microcontrollers including Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and more.
  • Wide Supply Voltage: Operates on 3–5 V, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
  • Compact & Breadboard-Friendly: Ships with header pins pre-attached for quick, tool-free prototyping on a breadboard or perfboard.
  • 6DOF Attitude Detection: Ideal for attitude estimation, gesture recognition, stabilisation systems, and motion logging.
  • New Condition: Every module is brand-new and tested before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the MPU6500 GY-6500 sensor module and what does it measure?

A: The MPU6500 GY-6500 is a compact 6DOF inertial measurement unit (IMU) that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope on a single board. It measures linear acceleration and rotational angular velocity across X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously, making it perfect for motion detection, attitude estimation, and stabilisation in DIY electronics and robotics projects.

Q: Is the MPU6500 module compatible with Arduino and can it replace the MPU6050?

A: Yes — the MPU6500 GY-6500 module is fully compatible with Arduino (and other popular microcontrollers such as ESP32 and Raspberry Pi) via I2C or SPI interfaces. It is designed as a direct hardware replacement for the MPU6050, so existing wiring and many software libraries can be adapted with minimal changes.

Q: What voltage does the MPU6500 sensor module require?

A: The module operates on a supply voltage of 3 V to 5 V DC, making it compatible with both 3.3 V (e.g. ESP32, Raspberry Pi) and 5 V (e.g. Arduino Uno) systems straight out of the box.

Q: Does the module come with header pins for easy prototyping?

A: Yes — header pins are included with the module, allowing you to plug it directly into a breadboard or solder it onto a perfboard for fast, tool-free prototyping.
