Re: So you think you want an accelerometer
I based my statement on a press release from ST Micro. Maybe there are more than one version and supply for the wii controller accelerometer or ST was ditched at the last minute. Any way the board Dave posted would be easier to work with than hacking a controller.
ST does sell a development kit and break out boards for their 3 axis accelerometers. It might be worth the investment for serious development. Software is included to display capture and filter the output by a usb connected PC.
