The host computer collects angle data from the tilt sensor.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a protective shell fixed to the base plate mounting plate, the protective shell having an opening for taking out and putting in the tilt sensor; The front side of the protective shell is transparent and is perpendicular to the motor mounting plate.
