MPU-6050 3-Axis Accelerometer with Gyroscope
This 3-axis acceleration sensor also features three gyroscopes, which can determine the tilt. The sensor can be easily controlled and read out via the I2C bus. The sensor is perfect for building a motion control or regulating something in position (balancing robot).
