ciao.
For an experiment, I use a module MPU6050 and a module VL53L0X. The modules are read by an Arduino Nano. Module MPU6050 is mounted on a wheel that rotates +/-90 degrees relative to the horizon (zero degree). An object can be found in front of the wheel.
MPU6050 is mounted so that the y axis is oriented along the radius of the wheel.
When module MPU6050 is horizontal (pitch between -10 and 0), it reads the distance. If the object in front is less than 500 mm, the motor turns on a led. The system works well if the wheel rotates.
But if the wheel starts to rototranslate I have some wrong signals (the LED suddenly lights up even if MPU6050 is not horizontal and even if there is nothing in front of it).
I use this sketch:

I use a kalman filter to have a stable signal.
I don't understand why the led lights up if the "IF" condition is false.
P.S: sorry for my English ...
