Just buy this instead which is the exact same accelerometer that is used in the Wii Remote, ready to interface to, and cheaper ($35).
All that said, I do think that interfacing to this remote is a nifty non-competition project, though. I've been toying with the idea of picking one of these up for a while now just to play with it. |
EVERY time I walk into an store I spend about 20 minutes around the controllers. I pick them up, walk around, and decide I don't want them, and pick them up and the cycle continues...I have planned [as I did the last 5 visits] that I will pick one up and leave with one next time I leave the store. If only I can follow through... lol.
