Hi, I'm trying to read the roll (see picture) of a "stick" in one of my projects. For this I'm using a GY-521 as I don't have a fixed reference point which rules pot-meters and visual sensors out. My only problem is that I can't get an accurate roll when the sensor is at a pitch of 60° or higher. …

Rotation along one axis.

Look up "Mahoney" or "Madgwick" algorithms to estimate position from this type of sensor.
