I have forked your rep and added the accelerometers, see [1]. As
Matthieu suggested, we might want to use this call to update the tilt
position and store it in freenect_device. But the problem is that it
will be updated only when the get_accelerometer is called. Do we want to
add a thread doing this in background and updating cached values inside
freenect_device?

Kind regards,
