9 Degrees of Freedom (DOF): The GY-87 module combines multiple sensors into one package to provide information about nine different degrees of freedom:
- 3-axis Accelerometer: Measures acceleration along three axes (X, Y, Z).
- 3-axis Gyroscope: Measures angular velocity around three axes.
- 3-axis Magnetometer: Measures magnetic field strength along three axes.
Digital Output: The module provides digital output interfaces for each sensor, making it compatible with microcontrollers and digital communication protocols like I2C.
Wide Measurement Range: The accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensors often have adjustable measurement ranges to suit different applications.
Integrated Sensors: All the sensors are integrated onto a single PCB (Printed Circuit Board), simplifying the wiring and connections in projects.
Voltage Regulator: The module often includes a voltage regulator, allowing it to operate at a lower supply voltage while providing consistent sensor performance.
Compact Form Factor: The GY-87 module is designed to be compact, making it suitable for applications with space constraints.
