Which microcontrollers do boards using the MPU6500 use?
Most are built on STM32 (2).
How big is a typical board using the MPU6500?
The median is 71.7 × 81.1 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the MPU6500?
By GitHub stars, MIZUHO by idt12312, with 28 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the MPU6500 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.
