Gyroscope Sensor Module

Description

A 3-Axis gyroscope sensor. It utilizes the InvenSense MPU3050 Motion Processor Unit providing a full-scale range from +/- 250°/s up to +/-2000°/s of angular rate measurement while providing the highest robustness supporting 10 000 g of shock. The module uses the I2C interface for data communication. The I2C lines are packaged with the power and ground lines into a modular connector, which allows easy plug and play operation. There are two connectors on the module to enable daisy chaining of multiple I2C devices together. The Gyroscope Sensor Module combined with the Accelerometer Sensor Module can deliver a complete 6-axis sensor for full motion detection.
