Ruth's sister GY-521 MPU-6050 internal power cable

SKU CH-WCVD-WW2AM

Connects a GY-521 MPU-6050 module with 16-bit AD converter and 2.54 mm pitch

  • Operates from 3 V to 5 V logic levels
  • 54 mm pin pitch fits standard headers
  • 16-bit ADC gives fine-grained motion data
  • 6 DOF sensor combines accelerometer and gyroscope

Sensor module for motion projects

The GY-521 board carries an MPU-6050 chip with a built-in 16-bit AD converter and a 2.54 mm pin pitch. It delivers six degrees of freedom through a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The module operates from 3 V to 5 V and is intended for Arduino-compatible development.

Upgrade from basic tilt switches

This module replaces simple tilt or vibration switches when full orientation tracking is required. The jump is worth it for projects that need continuous angle data, gesture detection or stabilization loops rather than a single on-off signal. It is not suited for applications demanding higher precision than the onboard 16-bit conversion provides.

  • Operates from 3 V to 5 V logic levels

Questions about this item

What header pitch does the GY-521 module use for connection?

The module uses a 2.54 mm pitch header for power and I²C signals.

Which pins must be soldered before the MPU-6050 can communicate over I²C?

Solder the VCC, GND, SCL and SDA pins to the 2.54 mm header; missing any of these four will prevent the 16-bit AD converter from responding.
