MPU-6000: common questions

Where can I find a MPU-6000 reference design?

Each of the 5 boards on this page is a real design using the MPU-6000. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the MPU-6000 use?

Most are built on STM32 (3) and ESP32 (1).

How big is a typical board using the MPU-6000?

The median is 78 × 48.6 mm, and 33% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the MPU-6000?

By GitHub stars, PX4FMUv2.4 by lachlanA, with 429 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the MPU-6000 before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
