Want to play with the awesome Invensense MPU-6000/6050 sensor used by APM 2 but struggling with the fine-pitch surface mount form factor? Sparkfun has come to your rescue with this handy breakout board version of the 6050. They're a little expensive at $40 each, but it's a great chip and very much the future of aerial robotics.
(BTW, the difference between the MPU-6000 and the MPU-6050 is that the first uses a SPI data interface and the second is I2C)
Comments
I used MPU-6050 with Gumstix (I2C at 400khz), i had latency to get all data in 1ms, i tried to make my breakout but the soldering is difficult.
Why Diy Drones not purpose a breakout for these sensor?
Ou: We prefer the MPU-6000. SPI is a more robust protocol for UAV applications. Otherwise the chips are the same.
It's a great sensor, i'm looking for SPI Version.
Thanks.
It's really a great sensor for UAV application. You can find too here http://www.drotek.fr/shop/en/42-mpu6050-gyro-accelerometer.html for 22.49 euros outside of Europe.
