Re: Using MPU6050 through I2C bus

This board has the same MPU as the sparkfun board, but takes an input voltage of 5V and drops it to 3.3V for the MPU, so we don't have to worry about the voltage. This is why we chose this board over the sparkfun one (also it's cheaper).

We did not have any luck using the KOP gyro. Whether it is a bad piece of equipment or we were not using properly I am not sure, but we fail time and time again to achieve desirable results with the KOP gyro. Too much drift.
