Accelerometer/Gyroscope-MPU6050 Module Details
The Three Axis Acceleration + Gyro Breakout (MPU-6050) is a great motion processing module. 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 Motion Fusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.
It is very accurate, as it contains 16-bits analog to digital conversion hardware for each channel. There for it captures the x, y, and z channel at the same time. The sensor uses the I2C-bus to interface with the Arduino.
The breakout board for the MPU-6050 makes this tiny QFN package easy to work into your project. Every pin you need to get up and running is brought out, including the auxiliary master I2C bus which allows the MPU-6050 to access external magnetometers and other sensors. The onboard LDO chip enable you to interface the board with 5V & 3V3 MCUs without the need of level shifters.

Where to Use MPU6050
The module also have two auxiliary pins which can be used to interface external IIC modules like an magnetometer, however it is optional. Since the IIC address of the module is configurable more than one MPU6050 sensor can be interfaced to a Microcontroller using the AD0 pin. This module also has well documented and revised libraries available hence it’s very easy to use with famous platforms like Arduino. So if you are looking for a sensor to control motion for your RC Car, Drone, Self balancing Robot, Humanoid, Biped or something like.

Calculations
Note that gyroscope and accelerometer sensor data of MPU6050 module consists of 16-bit raw data in 2’s complement form. Temperature sensor data of MPU6050 module consists of 16-bit data (not in 2’s complement form).
-Accelerometer full scale range of +/- 2g with Sensitivity Scale Factor of 16,384 LSB(Count)/g.
-Gyroscope full scale range of +/- 250 °/s with Sensitivity Scale Factor of 131 LSB (Count)/°/s.
then,
To get sensor raw data, we need to first perform 2’s complement on sensor data of Accelerometer and gyroscope.
After getting sensor raw data we can calculate acceleration and angular velocity by dividing sensor raw data with their sensitivity scale factor as follows, Accelerometer values in g (g force).
Acceleration along the X axis = (Accelerometer X axis raw data/16384)g.
Acceleration along the Y axis = (Accelerometer Y axis raw data/16384)g.
Acceleration along the Z axis = (Accelerometer Z axis raw data/16384)g.
Gyroscope values in °/s (degree per second)
Angular velocity along the X axis = (Gyroscope X axis raw data/131)°/s.
Angular velocity along the Y axis = (Gyroscope Y axis raw data/131)°/s.
Angular velocity along the Z axis = (Gyroscope Z axis raw data/131)°/s.
Temperature value in °/c (degree per Celsius)
Temperature in degrees C = ((temperature sensor data)/340 + 36.53)°/c.
For example,
Suppose, after 2’ complement we get accelerometer X axes raw value = +15454
Then Ax = +15454/16384 = 0.94 g.
