+
+        Here is an example of using the :class:`MPU6050` class.
+        First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import board
+            import adafruit_mpu6050
+
+        Once this is done you can define your `board.I2C` object and define your sensor object
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
+            mpu = adafruit_mpu6050.MPU6050(i2c)
+
+        Now you have access to the :attr:`acceleration`, :attr:`gyro`
+        and :attr:`temperature` attributes
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            acc_x, acc_y, acc_z = sensor.acceleration
+            gyro_x, gyro_y, gyro_z = sensor.gyro
