That is an interesting point.. I'm not sure what the best way to handle the
get_tilt update is? does anyone else have thoughts?
I have confirmed that the 8th byte is the angle..where positive angles are
just the value/2 and negative angles are (255-value)/2 and of course the 9th
byte is the moving (0x04), stopped, (0x00), and limit (0x01) as previously
stated
