The HW-290/GY-87 is a versatile 10-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) sensor module that integrates three powerful sensors: a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer (MPU6050), a 3-axis magnetometer (HMC5883L), and an air pressure sensor (BMP180). This all-in-one solution is ideal for complex projects requiring multiple types of environmental and motion data, such as robotics, drones, and navigation systems. The module is powered by a 3-5V supply, and its onboard LDO voltage regulator and built-in filters help reduce noise from other electronics. For added flexibility, the MPU6050's I²C address can be easily configured via a soldered jumper.
