Is MPU6050 6-DOF Gyro Accelerometer Compatible with Arduino Ecosystem?
Electrical Specifications
Always confirm pin assignments against the manufacturer datasheet before wiring.
Compatibility Overview
The Arduino Nano paired with MPU6050 provides 6-axis motion tracking vibration monitoring and inclination sensing via I2C.
Typical I²C Wiring Reference
Standard I²C signal names. This is a bus reference, not a pinout for this specific board — check the silkscreen and datasheet for its actual pin order.
Reference circuit only. A shifter is needed when the host and peripheral run at different logic levels — check both datasheets to confirm whether this applies to your pairing.
