I am trying to use the MPU 6050 to model movement of an object in motion and what I am finding using the teapot demo from Jeff Rowberg's I2C library is that whenever I orient the sensor in the vertical x or pitch direction, the graphical representation is showing the plane to be at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal, when it should be perpendicular to the horizontal. Can someone explain what is going on or how to correct this issue?
As the chip has no graphical output you must be doing something with it but you don't explain to us what exactly you did, what software you used (links or post with code tags!) and how you connected everything (wiring diagram). The error is either in the code, the wiring or the interpretation of the returned data. All this data you're hiding from us.
