If you’re trying to detect the orientation of an object, sometimes you really don’t need a 6DOF gyro and accelerometer. Hell, if you only need to detect if an object is tilted, you can get a simple ...

The project is comprised of an accelerometer, controller, MCU, and a few LEDs on the LED Puck board where the tilt of the board is sensed by the accelerometer and the appropriate LED lights up to ...

[Eiki] found himself in need of a project for his “simple machines” class. Another project had brought him in contact with some relatively cheap MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes. He had the idea to ...
