I am new and fresh beginner in Arduino and robotics so need help that how
GY 521 module gives values?
I know it gives in angular velocity for gyro and acceleration in for accelerometer.
then we calculate roll , pitch and yaw with some trigonometric formulas. OK
but then though
Why are Roll /PITCH/YAW values are changing ?
If in roll,pitch and yaw which are also constantly changing how we can program it with stepper motor?
//Serial output is given in below attachment //as we can see that all three values are changing
Code is as given below(this is code for mesuring pitch,roll and yaw):-

Then How we can interact it with stepper motor? with position on Holding for self balancing 2 wheeler robot?
Please Help Me
About my Project:-
I will like to start from small specific program like stepper motor ( nima 17 , A4988 Driver) with 12 to 5 volt power supply used for TWO WHEEL SELF BALNCING ROBOT (Arduino Nano) and circuit given as:-
//File(png) is attached at last as image was not uploading//
I have used 12 volt DC power supply and 12 to 5 volt L7805.
I wanted to know just get I2c communication also as its important for the Sensors?
Help!!!!!!!!!!!
