HiLetgo Acceleration Sensors Editorial Review

The MPU-6050 is a low-cost alternative to high-end Arduino sensors for several projects. Despite the lack of technical documentation provided, the product works fine for environmental and motion sensing. It does not come with pre-weld pins. However, past customers indicate mixed experiences. Some found the MPU-6050 to work without a hitch, while others report major quality issues, such as broken axes, and freezing of the main sketch. One reviewer notes that the part did not work with the low-cost micro-controller board intended for it but worked well with the Arduino Uno. Thus, it could be a hit or miss for some advanced projects.
