MPU-6500

The exact IMU identity in the OpenAMR component table, preserved together with the source-reported MPU-6050 silkscreen conflict and without treating the IC specification as mounted-system calibration evidence.

Architecture

Three-axis MEMS gyroscope plus three-axis accelerometer, DMP, 16-bit ADCs, FIFO and I2C/SPI host interfaces

DECISION READINESS / 0.1

What this record can support today.

Coverage is computed from published, non-unknown fields. It measures the record—not product quality—and makes missing procurement evidence explicit.

Coverage measures whether a selected public field is present with non-U evidence. It is not a product score, compatibility result, certification, availability confirmation or procurement recommendation. Download the complete readiness coverage JSON →

ROBOT SYSTEM USE

Exact-model responsibility-party BOM crosswalk.

This edge requires a pinned robot BOM identity and an exact RCI component record. It remains separate from as-built inspection, compatibility and performance evidence.

Robot BOM → exact component

OpenAMR multipurpose mobile platform

The pinned OpenAMR table names MPU-6500 as the installed chip identity. RCI preserves the same source’s conflicting MPU-6050 board-silkscreen observation instead of silently resolving it.

Published quantity: 1. One source-table unit is published; no physical board, package marking, serial or calibration record was inspected.

Boundary: This relation proves the source’s exact chip assertion and exposes its board-label conflict. It does not prove the assertion physically, calibration, navigation performance, endorsement or RCI validation.

MODEL-LINKED PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

1 bounded physical-evidence record.

Publisher independence, identity precision and measurement scope vary by row. Results remain bounded by the disclosed specimen, setup, workload and metric; an inconclusive mapping is evidence associated with the catalog model, not verification of a manufacturer claim.

Known limits

What this record does not prove.

  • TDK marks the product NR/ND; this record does not assert current availability or suitability for a new design.
  • The OpenAMR source contains an unresolved board-silkscreen versus silicon-identity conflict.
  • IC specifications do not prove module implementation, calibration or robot navigation performance.
