Help! pitch

Hi, can anyone help when i check my gyro readings it shows -34 pitch but it should be 0 as the quad is at level surface
Can you tell me where i am wrong?

Have you recalibrated it on a level surface? I know mine has reported like, -1 to +1 pitch, roll, or yaw, and that was on a level surface (as checked with a bubble level).

Yes, i didnt even change the surface i just calibrated it and uploaded code to check readings, didnt even move the quad

Does the 3D model in the configurator show as level? If so, you're probably seeing the calibrated value. If the 3D model is 34^ off in the configurator after calibrating, your accelerometer is probably pooched. Note that this is all accelerometer stuff... Gyros measure rotational velocity, not level, and they auto-calibrate every time the board is powered up. If it's gyro data you're looking at and the copter is still, I'd guess you are looking at calibrated values.

So what should i do? Should i just change mpu6050 with a new one?

I would just try flying it.
