Description
The GY-87 10DOF Sensor Module is a compact and versatile multi-sensor board that integrates three powerful sensors into a single unit: the MPU6050 (accelerometer and gyroscope), the HMC5883L (magnetometer), and the BMP180 (barometric pressure and temperature sensor).
This combination provides a complete set of motion, orientation, and environmental data, making it ideal for advanced embedded systems such as robotics, drones, and navigation projects.
