Re: So you think you want an accelerometer
I believe the wii uses a ST Micro chip and not a Analog Devices. If I got the right chip, the output is digital SPI or I2C. Not good for our current RC or OI. Freescale, Analog devices, STM have analog 3 axis chips that would be of more use to our current electronics. There are several break out boards available from the manufactures or third parties. Most of the new chips are not in very friendly surface mount packages. Also most are lower voltage devices. Another problem to overcome.
