DESCRPIPTION AND FEATURES

Product Introduction

The GY-6500 is a high-performance six-axis motion processing module specifically designed for embedded development. Its core is equipped with the mature MPU6500 chip, integrating a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. It can accurately capture the acceleration and angular velocity data of objects in three-dimensional space in real time, easily enabling the “perception” function of tilt, rotation, vibration, etc.

Based on the chip performance, the module optimizes the development adaptation experience. It comes with a voltage stabilizing circuit and supports a wide voltage input range of 3V to 5V, compatible with mainstream main control platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. By default, it adopts the I2C communication protocol, accompanied by clear pin definitions (including VCC, GND, SDA, SCL, etc., which are all necessary pins), and does not require additional complex peripheral circuits. It can be plugged and played immediately, significantly reducing the development threshold.

In addition, the module retains expansion function interfaces (such as ADD address selection, INT interrupt output, EDA/ECL auxiliary sensor connection), allowing for the expansion of advanced functions such as multi-device collaboration and interrupt response as needed. It takes into account both basic development and individualized requirements. With its advantages of small size, affordable price, and stable performance, the GY-6500 is widely applicable in scenarios such as unmanned aerial vehicle attitude control, robot navigation, VR/AR interaction, and wearable device motion monitoring. It is a cost-effective choice for student innovation and DIY projects as well as the development of small-scale commercial products.

GY-6500 Application

      The GY-6500 is based on the high-precision and low-power characteristics of its internal MPU6500 chip. Coupled with its plug-and-play design that requires no additional peripheral circuits, the GY-6500 has become the preferred choice for developers from prototype verification to the implementation of small-scale projects. It is widely used in scenarios that require motion sensing and posture monitoring.

  1. UAV and robotics fields

Provide angular velocity and acceleration data for the flight posture stability (hovering, turning, etc.) of consumer-grade drones. Assist small robots in navigation and obstacle avoidance, monitor tilt angles and speed changes, and can quickly connect with main control boards such as ESP32 and STM32, shortening the development cycle.

  1. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Devices

It captures the head posture changes of users of VR headsets and AR glasses in real time to realize synchronous screen following. Meanwhile, its low-power consumption and small size meet the requirements of such portable devices.

  1. Consumer Electronics and Wearable Devices

Implement the function of automatic screen rotation in DIY projects for mobile phones and tablets. Provide motion data (steps, running rhythm) and posture monitoring (sitting posture determination) for smartwatches and fitness trackers, with affordable prices, stable performance, and the ability to control costs.

  1. Industrial and Automotive Electronic Assistance Scenarios

Monitor the vibration of small industrial equipment. Provide early warnings in case of abnormalities. In automotive electronic DIY or teaching projects, simulate the data acquisition function of the ESP to assist in learning the principles of automotive dynamic control.

      GY-6500 is not just a carrier for the MPU6500 chip, but a combination of high performance and practical development design. It not only inherits the advantages of the chip such as multi-dimensional sensing, high precision and low energy consumption, but also solves the problems of “difficult chip docking and difficult peripheral circuit construction” through voltage stabilizing circuits and standardized interfaces.

      Whether it is consumer electronics DIY, student technology innovation, or small commercial projects, it can quickly realize motion sensing functions with “low cost, easy development and high performance”, promote the implementation of small and medium-sized intelligent projects, and become an important bridge between core chips and practical applications.
