 * 
 * This sketch is used to calculate angle from MPU6050 GyroScope Angular Rate
 * Ingridient of sketch is
 *     Angle = prevAngle + presentAngularRate * dt
 *     prevAngle = Angle
 *     
 *     dt -> time elapsed from the last angular rate reading
 *     
 *     Offset Value is used to slow the Gyro Drift
 *     
 *  For discussion on the code ref : http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=548675
