GY-521 MPU-6050 3 Axis gyroscope accelerometer
The MPU-6050 is a serious little piece of motion processing tech! By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.

Description:
The GY-521 MPU-6050 3 Axis gyroscope accelerometer axis gyro contains an Accelerometer and a gyro in a single chip. It is very accurate, as it contains 16-bits analogue to digital conversion hardware for each channel. Therefore it captures the x, y, and z channels at the same time. The sensor uses the I2C-bus to interface with the Arduino.

How does an accelerometer work, Arduino?
The accelerometer sensors measure the acceleration by measuring the change in capacitance. Its structure has a mass attached to a spring that moves in one direction and has fixed outer plates. So, when acceleration is applied in any direction, the capacitance between the plates and the mass will change.
What is the use of an accelerometer?
An accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration, or acceleration of motion of a structure. The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the mass to “squeeze” the piezoelectric material which produces an electrical charge that is proportional to the force exerted upon it.
Uses of a gyroscope or accelerometer
The main difference between the two devices is simple: one can sense rotation, whereas the other cannot. … Using the key principles of angular momentum, the gyroscope helps indicate orientation. In comparison, the accelerometer measures linear acceleration based on vibration.
What is a 3 axis accelerometer?
The 3-Axis Accelerometer consists of three –5 to +5 g accelerometers mounted in one small block. Using the appropriate data collection hardware and software, you can graph any of these components, or calculate the magnitude of the net acceleration.
