The MPU-6000/MPU-6050 family of parts is the world's first and only six-axis motion tracking devices designed for the low power, low cost, and high-performance requirements of smartphones, tablets, wearable sensors, and robotics.
The MPU-6000/6050 devices combine a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer on the silicon die together with an onboard digital motion processor capable of processing complex nine-axis motion fusion algorithms. The following diagram shows the system diagram of MPU 6050 and break out of MPU 6050:
The breakout board of MPU 6050 is shown in the following diagram and it can be purchased from here http://a.co/7C3yL96:
The connection from Launchpad to MPU 6050 is given in the following table. The remaining pins can be left disconnected:
