Electrode deployment based on change in position

A conducted electrical weapon configured to conduct an electrical stimulus signal through a target, the conducted electrical weapon comprising:

• a plurality of electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode;
• a position sensor configured to detect a plurality of positions of the conducted electrical weapon;
• and
• a processing circuit coupled to the plurality of electrodes and the position sensor, wherein the processing circuit is further configured to perform operations, comprising:
• deploying the first electrode at a first time;
• in accordance with deploying the first electrode, detecting a change in position of the conducted electrical weapon via the position sensor;
• and
• in accordance with the change in position, automatically deploying the second electrode at a second time after the first time.

A handle of a conducted electrical weapon configured to conduct an electrical stimulus signal, the handle comprising:

• a position detector configured to detect a plurality of positions of the handle of the conducted electrical weapon;
• and
• a processing circuit coupled to the position detector and configured to electrically couple the electrical stimulus signal to a plurality of electrodes received by the handle, wherein the processing circuit is further configured to perform operations, comprising:
• providing a first ignition signal to a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes;
• in accordance with providing the first ignition signal, detecting a change in position of the handle of the conducted electrical weapon via the position detector;
• and
• in accordance with the change in position, automatically providing a second ignition signal to a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes.
