Description:

The GY-87 10DOF Sensor Module is a versatile and compact sensor breakout board that integrates multiple sensors to provide 10 Degrees of Freedom: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer (compass), and barometric pressure sensing. It's ideal for robotics, drones, flight controllers, motion tracking, and navigation systems.

It combines the following sensors:

• MPU6050: A 3-axis gyroscope + 3-axis accelerometer (6DOF)

• HMC5883L: A 3-axis magnetometer (digital compass)

• BMP180: A barometric pressure sensor (altimeter)

These sensors communicate via the I2C interface, making it easy to integrate with ESP32, STM32, Pi, and other microcontroller platforms. The combination of motion and environmental sensors makes it especially suitable for orientation, altitude estimation, and directional heading applications.
