Getting Started of GY-521 MPU6050 with Arduino (Maker UNO)

INTRODUCTION

The MPU-6050 is a serious little piece of motion processing tech! By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.

This tutorial video will show you how to interface GY-521 MPU6050 with Arduino.
