In this video I show you how to incorporate accelerometers into your Arduino projects. The GY-87 module contains the MPU6050 IMU chip. The MPU6050 contains 3 accelerometers for measuring acceleration along the x axis, the y axis, and the z-axis. In today's lesson we will look at how to calibrate the accelerometers for greater accuracy. I will take you through things step-by-step, and show you how to connect the module and program it.
