-====DESCRIPTION====
-====APPLICATION====
+//**Gyroscope (GY-521)**//
+**Description**
+The GY-521 contains both a 3-Axis Gyroscope and a 3-Axis accelerometer allowing measurements of both independently, but all based around the same axes, thus eliminating the problems of cross-axis errors when using separate devices.
+**Specification**
+Accelerometer ranges: ±2, ±4, ±8, ±16g
+Gyroscope ranges: ± 250, 500, 1000, 2000 °/s
+Voltage range: 3.3V - 5V (the module include a low drop-out voltage regulator)
+This simple module contains everything required to interface to the Arduino and other controllers via I2C (use the Wire Arduino library) and give motion sensing information for 3 axes - X, Y and Z.
+====APPLICATION====
+The GY-521 can be used to measure the orientation of the device. It can sense motion including vertical and horizontal rotation. There are a lot of practical uses of gyroscope especially in aerospace. It can be used as a stability assistance device to make sure that a rocket, a spacecraft, or an aircraft maintains the correct orientation.
