  // "data"
  //
  // Fires when X, Y or Z has changed.
  //
  // The first argument is an object containing raw x, y, z
  // values as read from the analog input.
  //

  //
  // Fires once every N ms, equal to value of freg
  // Defaults to 500ms
  //

  });

  // "orientation"
  //
  // Fires when orientation changes
  //

  //
  // Fires when inclination changes

  // "change"
  //
  // Fires when X, Y or Z has changed
