Rui, very nice,

0.2.0 is much better then the initial 0.1.0 release yesterday :) again,
the calibration is out for the "upside down" state. Except of rare
hickups when is seems to start oscillating kind of, this is already
quite usable :) and not burning so much CPU as the previous incarnation
did.
