It’s been quite an adventure as Makers to watch interfaces on various devices go from standard old-school buttons and dials to touch screens and capacitive buttons, all the way through to the modernised augmented reality and virtual reality interfaces that are gaining popularity right now. And while the technologies for these modernised interfaces have been around for a lot longer than most would suspect, only recently has the cost and accessibility become more realistic, resulting in quite an explosion of exciting modern-age ways of interfacing with various systems and devices. This is why we get excited when we get in potentially incredible Modules such as the MPU-6050 Accelerometer & Gyro Module from DFRobot, as it offers 6 Degrees of Freedom by using integrated sensors that can identify orientation and motion, allowing Makers like us to enjoy them for modernised interfacing in our projects.

These awesome 6DOF Modules are designed for hobbyists, but use advanced technologies that would have certainly been considered to be professional grade just a few years ago, and are ready for whatever cool motion-based projects that you’re brewing up. By using the integrated accelerometer and gyroscope, this module can identify Euler Angles and levels of Acceleration in all major directions, and with an included Auxiliary Master I2C Bus and built-in Digital Motion Processing, these modules can expand even further when used alongside extra Sensors like magnetometers. This advanced level of sensing makes these modules ideal for all kinds of modern projects and applications, and it’s easy to see how they could be extremely useful in projects like wearable tech, self-balancing robots and vehicles, and even automated tools like electric screwdrivers and soldering irons.

It's no real surprise that motion-based interfacing is growing in popularity, since we humans are pretty darn good at fine motor control, and using motion-based interfaces seems like a far more natural way to interact with things than buttons or touchscreens. We use our hands a lot when talking, giving directions and communicating in other ways, so it just makes sense that we would also be good at interacting with systems and devices in similar ways. So if you’ve got an idea of how you want to incorporate a more natural motion-based interfacing style into your next project, or if you want to revitalise an old project with awesome new capabilities, the MPU-6050 Accelerometer & Gyro Module from DFRobot is an excellent choice that is both relatively easy to use (with some help from tutorials and sample code) and offers a whole new world of interfacing, control and functionality for all kinds of projects.
