Auto Screen Orient

Auto Screen Orient is a system that automatically detects and applies the correct display orientation whenever screen is rotated by more than 45 degrees. The system consists of rotation detector device and daemon(python script) that changes the display orientation. This project was carried out as a part of Embedded Systems 101 course at Turku University of Applied Sciences. See functional specification document for more info.
