Like I said. I haven't figured out a way around tilt yet. At least not on
a moving ship. I figured that a box like this should almost have a
accelerometer, and gyroscope compass/artificial horizon, as part of the

Actually, if you made the cord of a certain length, with 2 extra wires,
One, an antennae, that is constantly checked to insure that it has the same
resonance frequency that it has had since boot-up, this 'wire' being a foil
sheath wrapped around the other wires, and another, using the common ground
to complete the circuit, that hooks up to a momentary normally closed
button, set either right between the 3 prongs, or right under one of the
plugs, let's say ground, you would have an even easier time. Especially if
the plugins were recessed in a 1 inch deep, 1 inch wide hole.
Thus, splicing the cable results in a change to the resonance frequancy of
the shielding, while unpluging it sets off the button in the plug.
