How to interpret and use values of an accelerometer

Currently, I'm building a quadcopter using Arduino. To make the copter able to stabilize I use an mpu6050 accelerometer + gyroscope. I understand that I can get the angle of rotation by integrating the values of the gyro. I understand too that I can…
