Re: Rulings for modifying joysticks in 2007?

I have some experience using accelerometers for user input (in fact I'm working on a project to do just that at this very moment!), and with some processing, the results are quite good. However, you need to sample MUCH faster than the 38Hz that the OI does in order to get decent double integration precision. That would require an external processor, which would require power, which we don't have.
