That's very cool. I appreciate the mod. :) I'm seeing something that looks like a bug (in both versions)... but I'm not sure if the accelerometers require calibration or something. With the FR in vertical position, if I tilt it counter-clockwise, it takes just over 90 degrees to get 'accel-rotate

I think the page (1) has grown too much and too messy. Maybe it's time to break it apart into 1973 & FR variants. I know that both systems have a lot in common, but unfortunately they are NOT equal. I propose that the info about the FR is moved into a new page (Neo_Freerunner_Audio_Subsystem) an
