Don't know, but this can be done using a PIC and a few ADXL (Accelerometers from AD) http://www.analog.com/en/content/0,2886,764%255F800%255F62270,00.html On 7/12/05, Marc Nicholas <spam_OUTmarcTakeThisOuTgeekythings.com> wrote: > Do you know when accelerometer it uses, per chance? > > -marc -- Chetan Bhargava Web: http://www.bhargavaz.net Blog: http://microz.blogspot.com
