Here I learn and see how mpu6050 response to X, Y and Z axis movement with certain value as seen below:

Okay All, Here I just want your confirmation if my opinion about this - with motors' speed and direction - right or wrong:

When I tilt or move at a certain angle, say, to minus or plus value of X-axis, motors will move to the left or right to maintain a robot in a "flat" position (setpoint). Is it true???

And, would you let me know how both work in a simple lines of code. Thanks

Update:

Did You find schematics too? No code will work if there are wiring mistakes.

Please follow the forum rules, and do not post pictures of text or code.

You tell us.

Self leveling platforms are a popular Arduino project, and successful examples have been posted on line.

Thanks for your reply. I update my question with schematic.

Please let me know if this statement is true or not.

Forum members cannot possibly guess if your project works as expected, unless you tell them.

You're right about that. It worked as shown the pic above with values when I tilted the board (mpu). So, the answer is true. :grin: then I can step forward to the next experiment.

Many tutorial talked about flat-setpoint. What I want to do next is to maintain robot in, say, 15 degrees from the X axis
