MPU9250 9DOF IMU Sensor Module – 3-Axis Gyroscope, Accelerometer & Magnetometer
Measure motion, rotation, and orientation in your electronics projects with the MPU9250 9DOF Sensor Module. This compact Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is designed to combine a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis magnetometer in one module, making it suitable for robotics, drones, motion tracking, and navigation projects.
With I²C and SPI communication support, this sensor module can interface with compatible microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and other embedded development boards.
Key Features
9 Degrees of Freedom (9DOF): Combines three sensing functions for motion and orientation measurement.
3-Axis Accelerometer: Measures acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes.
3-Axis Gyroscope: Measures angular velocity around three axes.
3-Axis Magnetometer: Measures magnetic field direction for orientation and compass-related applications.
I²C and SPI Interfaces: Supports communication with compatible microcontrollers.
I²C Logic-Level Conversion: Includes a logic-level converter for I²C, as specified for this module version.
Power Indicator LED: Helps indicate that the module is powered.
Compact PCB Design: Easy to integrate into embedded systems and DIY electronics projects.

Important Notes
Magnetometer clarification: The MPU9250 chip includes a 3-axis magnetometer, but some product listings state that the magnetometer function is unavailable. Verify the actual board version and magnetometer operation before purchasing if all 9 axes are required.
Check the module's supply-voltage and logic-level requirements before connecting it to a microcontroller.
I²C and SPI pin availability may vary by board design. Follow the pin labels or supplied wiring diagram.
Accurate orientation calculations may require sensor calibration and software sensor fusion.
