'MPU6050 output yaw pitch and roll with Arduino
I'm trying to read yaw, pitch and roll with MPU6050 and Arduino, but I always get overflow, if I use the function yprx() in the loop without waiting for any input I get the correct values, the problem in this solution is that I need the three values of ypr[] just when called from an input in Serial.read().

Solution 1:[1]
The main problem is that you should execute your yprx void every loop(), and only return the answers to the Serial on entering of your 'lettera'. This way the buffer of the mpu6050 doesn't overflow due to constant reading.

You can use this sketch to get your MPU6050 working. Make pin connections 3.3v/5v, gnd, a4 a5, digitalPin2 on Arduino to vcc, gnd, sda, scl and int on MPU6050 respectively.
