MPU-6050 6-axis IMU (GY-521, 8-pin header)

Why this support circuit is added
GY-521 carries a 3.3 V LDO and 2.2 kΩ I²C pull-ups, so it runs from 3.3 V or 5 V. Address 0x68 (0x69 with AD0 high) — tie AD0 high when a DS3231 shares the bus.
Grounded in the catalog and golden patterns (real open-source circuits). Every auto-inserted part comes with a reason.

No extra support circuit for this part — only the board rail and the connector are wired.
