I think the first line of the MicroPython example should be
from imu import MPU6050

Hey @Jan282683, welcome to the forums!

Looks like that example code is a little outdated, I have passed this onto our team and this should be updated on the website soon. In the meantime feel free to use this update code instead

from imu import MPU6050
from time import sleep
from machine import Pin, I2C

import math

i2c = I2C(0, sda=Pin(8), scl=Pin(9), freq=400000)
imu = MPU6050(i2c)

while True:
    ax=round(imu.accel.x,2)
    ay=round(imu.accel.y,2)
    az=round(imu.accel.z,2)
    gx=round(imu.gyro.x)
    gy=round(imu.gyro.y)
    gz=round(imu.gyro.z)
    tem=round(imu.temperature,2)
        
    pitch = math.atan2(ax,az)
    roll = math.atan2(ay,az)
    
    print("Pitch",pitch,"/t","Roll",roll)
    
    # Uncomment line below to show acceleration
#     print("ax",ax,"\t","ay",ay,"\t","az",az)
    
    # Uncomment line below to show acceleration
#     print("gx",gx,"\t","gy",gy,"\t","gz",gz)

    sleep(0.2)

Thanks for bring that to our attention!
