Gyroscope Technology and Applications A Circuit Diagram Gyroscope sensors are essential components in modern technology, known for their ability to measure and maintain orientation. Found in devices ranging from smartphones to aerospace systems, these sensors allow precise motion detection and stabilization. They are particularly useful in applications where tracking orientation, rotation, or
3-Axis Gyroscope. MPU6050 has a 3-axis gyroscope that uses Micro Electro Mechanical System technology to measure rotational velocity. The gyroscope consists of a tiny mass that moves back and forth in response to rotational motion. As the mass moves, it causes a change in capacitance, which is detected by the MEMS sensors.

Senor is ready to read the values and to get the reading we create sensor event sensors_event_t a, g, temp; and store reading in them using mpu.getEvent(&a, &g, &temp). start printing stored values using a.acceleration.x/y/z for acceleration , g.gyro.x/y/z for gyroscope and temp.temperature respectively.
So, if we fuse, or combine the accelerometer and gyroscope data we can get very accurate information about the sensor orientation. The MPU6050 IMU is also called six-axis motion tracking device or 6 DoF (six Degrees of Freedom) device, because of its 6 outputs, or the 3 accelerometer outputs and the 3 gyroscope outputs.

The MPU-6050 IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope sensor. The accelerometer measures the gravitational acceleration, and the gyroscope measures the rotational velocity. Additionally, this module also measures temperature. This sensor is ideal for determining the orientation of a moving object.
