You can use the `fake` movement sensor model to test movement sensor code without connecting to any actual hardware.

The `fake` model supports all movement sensor methods: `Accuracy`, `AngularVelocity`, `CompassHeading`, `LinearAcceleration`, `LinearVelocity`, `Orientation`, `Position`, `Properties`, and `Readings`.
Note that this model does not get any actual readings, so it supports these methods by returning placeholder data.
