Pitch Axis

Hi,
When I get the orientation from my Sense HAT, the pitch axis never returns a value between 83 and 254 degrees and I don't know why. The rest of the axis work normally. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks

AFAIK Orientation is a combination of all the sensors and therefore a formula is used to produce pitch/roll and yaw.
The formula used only gives values from 0-90 when tipping down and 360-270 when tipping up
Your values of 83 to 254 are probably due to to not having fully calibrated your board
Try out these steps (bit complex but I did them and they do work)
