I already have been troubleshooting this many times and still don't know the reason why it's always not working properly.
I found out that my last MPU-6050 was broken so I bought new ones to test if it was the issue, and it was.
Now, when I used my Arduino Micro for some reason I get stuck on "Initializing I2C devices..." I tried scanning it and also the get stuck "Scanning devices..." so I switched to Arduino UNO R3 (Clone) to see if it would work, and it did.
But, for now my motors work and then after some seconds now they only move but a tiny bit clockwise and counterclockwise like a mm. I tried with a different UNO clone and still the exact same issue.
I Checked if the MPU was broken but when I checked it it was working as it didn't give me any errors about DMP unable to initialize it but when I tried processing it to the 3D sample view and it wasn't moving whenever I move the MPU around.
This is A schematic of my board

I am planning to try 9-DOF Gyro board Like Adafruit's or Sparkfun's if I find them available in my area, but I am not sure if it is advisable with Self-Balancing Robot.
