Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using my Pinecil V2 for embedding brass inserts into 3D prints, maintaining the soldering iron perfectly perpendicular to the insertion point is essential for optimal results.

Describe the solution you'd like
Integrating accelerometer data accessible via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) would be incredibly helpful. This feature would allow me to monitor and adjust the angle of the soldering iron in real-time, ensuring precision in positioning.

This is such a clever way to use the accelerometer!
I wonder if you could also deduce from the acceleration in the Z-axis when the insert is low enough

@Defozo
I think a more efficient solution would be a fixture (like these MakerWorld or these Printables) that works independently of the surface you are working on, as this might be tilted in one way or the other.

@Ralim
Is the accelerometer in the Pinecil_2:

  1. able to take measurements in an upright orientation reliably enought?
  2. capable of making the requested task accurate enough, so that it would justify the effort to implement this?
