Because of the way the values are calculated with orientation, that
would mean that if a program needs all three, either all values are read
three times or the ams_sensors function gets much more complicated.

To prevent it from having to read them three times in a row, I joined
all three values.

Do you think I should rewrite the ams_sensors function to only get the
correct value?

Thanks,
Michael

(All other issues, including those in the other mails, are clear and
will be addressed by a new patch)
