Ideia of a sensor for 'ro'Pov'

Post by fr3d- »

I´ve this ideia some days ago when I was developing my POV.

It´s can be used like a 'G Sensor'... Using this with a Conversor A/D (present in many PICs) and a good prog, is possible write the msg in the same place in the air.

The vantage ? Cheap an easy to do.

If someone try this, please, post here.

That's more or less how old accelerometers were made --- usually they had two springs, though, not just one, so they could detect acceleration in either direction. (This is all hearsay. I never took one apart.)

Nowadays you can get a cheapish MEMS accelerometer from Analog Devices. Costs more than the rest of the Minipov2 parts put together, though.
