C/C++
This is the final program for Gyrocube
//This program is the part of the project GyroCube in which PWM output
//of 3 pins varies as change in the three angles X,Y, and Z respectively. 
//Enter the offset values of your GY521 in the program, read the comments
//for reference.
//This program is free to use, distribute, modify and copy but not comes with any
//kind of warranty
//Open the serial monitor to see the orientation of the sensor.
