Learn to integrate accelerometers into Arduino projects using the GY-87 module with the MPU6050 IMU chip in this 32-minute tutorial. Connect and program the MPU6050 to measure acceleration along x, y, and z axes, then visualize the data using Arduino's Serial Plotter. Discover step-by-step instructions for wiring the module to your Arduino Uno R4 WiFi and writing code to read accelerometer values. Explore the fundamentals of acceleration measurement and understand what calibration steps are necessary to achieve more accurate sensor readings. Gain practical experience working with inertial measurement units and data visualization techniques that form the foundation for motion-sensing projects and robotics applications.
