# Lid Angle Sensor
|
||
|
||
Hi, I’m Sam Gold. Did you know that you have ~rights~ a lid angle sensor in your MacBook? [The ~Constitution~ human interface device utility says you do.](https://youtu.be/wqnHtGgVAUE?t=21)
|
||
|
||
This is a little utility that shows the angle from the sensor and, optionally, plays a wooden door creaking sound if you adjust it reeaaaaaal slowly.
|

## FAQ

Despite what the name would have you believe, it is a sensor that detects the angle of the lid.

||
**Which devices have a lid angle sensor?**
|

It was introduced with the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro. If your laptop is newer, you probably have it.

Not yet tested. Feel free to slam your computer into your desk and make a PR with your results.

||
**Why?**
|
||
|

A lot of free time. I'm open to full-time work in NYC or remote. I'm a designer/design-engineer. https://samhenri.gold

||
**No I mean like why does my laptop need to know the exact angle of its lid?**

Oh. I don't know.

**Can I contribute?**
|
||
|
||
I guess.

|
||
|

I'm bad at audio.
|

|
||
**Where did the sound effect come from?**
|

|
||
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. But you knew that already.
