Are there any electronics available for upper stage ignition which can sense the rocket's attitude and prevent ignition if the rocket isn't within plus or minus XX degrees of vertical? I know some have an altitude permissive filter, but that's less than ideal.
This excellent thread in which there have unfortunately been no posts since 2017 shows that orientation determination is much more difficult than simply reading the gyros in a MEMs sensor:
Next Generation Tilt Sensor/ Attitude Monitor

Also, how about just a list of links to all staging electronics currently available? Know of one or some? Post the links below.
