Can anyone explain this sensor drift thing?

I’ve been fiddling with my new DIY arm for the past week, and the joint angle readings start wobbling after a few minutes of idle. The issue seems to pop up regardless of the power source or firmware version. I double-checked all the wiring, solder joints look solid, and the code is a straightforward PID loop, yet the sensor still drifts. It’s frustrating because the hardware is cheap enough that I expected more stability. Has anyone dealt with this on the same scale? I’m leaning towards adding a periodic recalibration routine, but I’m not sure if that’s just masking the problem or actually fixing it…
