Customers like the value of the electronic sensor. They say it works well and is cheap compared to other sensors.

"...Does not always happen but no issues otherwise. Easy to use. Good value for the price." Read more

"It comes in 3, which makes it a pretty good value for $10. However, it is extremely hard to setup, and start getting acceleration/angle data from it...." Read more

"...Why isn't the datasheet published?Sure, the price is low, but now I have to go through contortions to make sense of the sensor outputs...." Read more

"Easy to use and is very cheap compared to most sold on." Read more

26 customers mention15 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the electronic sensor. Some mention that it works well and is relatively simple to use, while others say that it didn't work at all, one just didn''t respond at all.

"...] Can't fault these boards, wired up fast and worked great on the Arduino WEMOS D1 Mini Pro with standard libraries...." Read more

"...I discovered that it would run very nicely but then randomly freeze the main sketch...." Read more

"...It's extremely convoluted. Once it works however, it works accurately with a good offset...." Read more

Using as a gyro with arduino
Works as expected as a gyro on smart car using arduino. There is some freezing of the x/y while z works. Does not always happen but no issues otherwise. Easy to use. Good value for the price.
