tl;dr (essentials)

  1. The Inertia Board can sense motion, lack of motion, orientation, or acceleration.
  2. It's capable of either momentary triggers or continuous triggers.

Meet the Spectacle Inertia Board

The Spectacle Inertia Board is designed to allow a Spectacle project to detect its orientation, whether it is moving or stationary, or whether it is under acceleration.

It has two 1/8" (3.5mm) jacks for Spectacle control signals. Pay attention to the directionality of the jacks! The one labeled "In" should be plugged into a board that is closer to the Director Board than the Inertia Board is, or into the Director Board itself.
