Euler angles and singularities

in General

I made a question on stack overflow where i am asking to measure angle around an axis without affected by gimbal lock. If you know the answer or have any suggestion please let me know.

    Quaternions are used to combat gimbal lock.

    I know that but at some point i have to convert quaternions back to Euler angles to tell the user that pendulum has θ angle on specific axis. So there is the problem , how to tell user what is the sensor angle without converting to Euler angle.

    Edit: Also i know i can get an angle using quaternions and hamilton product but it will not be possible to get angle in x,y,z (i.e the pendulum rotate θ around x axis, φ around y axis)

    Find a library that does the conversion for you.
