Gentlemen
Today I tried out my GY-521 6DOF.
I ran the I2C code, and the adress was 0x68 [running the board on 5V]
I used Krodal's code to run the gyro, and I seem to be getting really unstable signals:
Just look at the gyro feedback, this is just by tilting it...
MPU-6050
Read accel, temp and gyro, error = 0
accel x,y,z: 12928, -6376, 6420

gyro x,y,z : -1201, -219, 814,

MPU-6050

MPU-6050
Read accel, temp and gyro, error = 0
accel x,y,z: 17000, 0, -2616

Am I misinterpreting the gyro signal? Is this degrees? Why is it so unstable?
I am running my arduino on USB power, is this the issue?
Kind regards
