24. A method for determining a roll angle of a device with a housing, comprising the steps of:
-
producing a time-limited voltage profile with a control electronics and a coil, wherein the coil is fixedly arranged relative to the housing on or in the housing, measuring a magnetic field outside the housing with a receiver, and determining the roll angle from a temporal change of the measured magnetic field.
