I've had one of these for a couple+ years and use it all the time for camber and caster alignment...
don't really know how it works... but I a am in logic design right now and I am trying to figure it out in my head lol. It just seems slow to me, considering I'm sure it only takes nanoseconds to calculate 1 of 7 possible values... lol

im going with 2 tilt sensors, 3 values each. (left center right) and (forward center back)

if (left forward) then first
if (right back) then reverse
if (center center) then neutral; etc.
