Re: So you think you want an accelerometer

Sony SIXAXIS controllers allow you to do the same, but you can disable the radio and communicate via USB. Greg Marra and I were developing a system to control OI inputs via a Wiimote (with a BT enabled laptop as the middle man) but the project fell through due to lack of interest and the fact that it was a hacky solution to a non-existent problem.

I also had the idea to use these controllers paired with an elegant software package to have an onboard Inertial Navigation System. Since I probably won't complete this, feel free to steal the idea.
