That's not a bad idea... I haven't looked into what accelerometers we have in the FR, but there are plenty of MEMS gyros available; maybe one will have the same or similar pin configuration. I know the gyros and accelerometers made by Analog Devices are very close to pin compatible. Last time I checked (about a year ago), there weren't any 3D MEMS gyros on the market. There was one company offering what was basically 2 2D gyros glued to each other. I think there's some kind of manufacturing hurdle that has to be overcome to make them 3D, so they may not be available in a small size or integrated unit. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
