Logic - Tilt sensor conversion

Tilt sensors have some limitations as they return only values from -0.25 to 0.25 turns. Meaning that when you do a full rotation, you get the same values twice.
This can be overcome by using two tilt sensors at a 90° angle and a bit of math.

So this example shows the setup and includes two functions for converting the tilt output into something more useful.


Display and function on the left convert the rotation into the -0.5 to 0.5 format (similar to how the compass works).
The function on the right converts it to a 0-1 value. In both cases 0 is pointing up (as indicated by the red triangle).
