Re: Source for small accelerometers

Well, I know this will be of only limited help, since I can't find the URl
anymore, but I ran across a project a year or so ago that involved soldering
a cheap ($10-ish) 2D accelerometer to the circuitboard on a Palm Pilot.
There was an associated marble game that could be played simply by tilting
the Pilot.

OK...found the link again:

Shouldn't be too hard to use the chip with other apps.
