Pinout
MPU6050 accelerometer/gyro module (GY-521, I2C) pinout

Pins
- VCC (3.3–5V — the GY-521 carries a 3.3V regulator, so 5V is fine)
- GND
- SCL (I2C clock)
- SDA (I2C data)
- XDA / XCL — auxiliary I2C bus (for chaining a secondary sensor, rarely used)
- AD0 — address select (low = 0x68, high = 0x69)
- INT — interrupt output (data-ready / motion detect)
