The GY-521 6DOF IMU MPU6050 sensor is used to measure 6 parameters: 3-axis rotation (Gyro), 3-axis acceleration (Accelerometer). It is the most popular accelerometer sensor on the market today, with numerous examples and codes for it available for almost all types of microcontrollers. If you want to buy an accelerometer sensor for models such as dynamic pendulums, self-balancing cars, airplanes, etc., the MPU6050 would be an optimal choice.
