Abstract
A device for generating a control signal based on the linear movement of a linear member is provided. The device includes a linear member, a rotatable member, a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) coupled to the rotatable member and a second IMU having a fixed position. The device also includes a processing circuit which uses sensing signals from the IMUS to determine an attitude of the first IMU referenced to the second IMU and generate a control signal based on the attitude.
