offset increasing

[yousefkhaled1750]

Hello mr kris,Thank you for your great effort and dedication. Your code has really helped me a lot.
I tested your code using MPU6050 sensor and an arduino uno board it works fine while i keep rotating the sensor but when I stop moving the sensor the values of yaw, pitch and roll angles increase by time. So the offset increases and affects the future outputs.
Please, do you have any idea what am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well, the MPU6050 can't really be used for heading estimation because there is no magnetometer to compensate for gyro drift. So I would expect you should get good estimation of pitch and roll (if your sensor is properly calibrated) but heading will drift at ~several degrees per minute or more).

But we can't use the magnetometer due to the frequent change in the magnetic field in the environment we will put the sensor in. Beside all we need is just yaw. So, do you have any suggestions about how we can solve this issue?

Can't get accurate yaw without a magnetometer, at least not for more than a few seconds. Try calibrating your sensors for at least good enough pitch and roll. We use 9 DoF solutions (i.e., with a magnetometer( even in harsh magnetic environments like small drone with four brushed motors. Works just fine.
