MPU6050 Arduino Gimbal

Hey everyone. Im using MPU6050 and servo motor to make a gimbal. The issue is that my sensor is only reading values when its stabilized on the breadboard while i need it to be on the gimbal platform. So when i change the angle of the sensor my motor is constantly running until i stabilize the sensor at 0 angle again. How can i make my motor move to the angle and stop until i change the angle of the sensor again ? THanks so much.

Hey @zabi4 !

Imma guess you didn't write that code and you have little idea how it works.

Where did it come from? Post a link. Is there no information there and google fails you totally?

I ve been dowloading and trying so many codes that i cant track where which one is from.
