Tilt Sensing

The Apollo-X

’s tilt sensor

regularly takes reads to check the orientation of the device when

enabled. If the Apollo-X is tilted beyond its threshold, the Apollo-X not will strobe until
returning to an upright position. The Apollo-X does

not

stop transmitting while inverted.

To activate the Apollo-X

’s tilt capability, use the command:

$switch T 1
