Questions tagged [mpu6050]
The MPU6050 is a Motion and Position sensor device that operates on an I2C bus. Importantly it is a 3.3 Volt device that is popularly used to provide 6-axis information with other devices and not just the Raspberry Pi - so connection of modules incorporating it may need special attention/configuration to work on the RPi.
