Really Neat LCD + Accelerometer Project

I found a link to this from Sparkfun’s news blog:

pyrofersprojects.com/3dcube.php

Not only is it interesting, but it’s also a great way to demonstrate how accelerometers can be used.
Five thumbs up.
:smiley:

I went to this very site before, I think SparkFun provided the link if I remember correctly. I tried to view the video but it never seemed to start for me.

Did you get to see the video Nick? I would like to eventually get a color LCD and make it work.

that is such a cool project. I dont understand if it was just demonstrating how the accelerometer works or if it actually will be used for something practical onside a robot.

Tsk, tsk, Mikey’s gotta pay attention:

:laughing:
Yea, the vids played fine, and even quickly on my poor lil’ 56k.

Joe, if you read (you know, the thing with your eyes and those letters and words, hehe :stuck_out_tongue:) it tells of how he’s been creating this for fun with the hopes of evenutally making a full-fledged 3D shape interface, and possibly even a 3D game.
That it shows a neat application of an accelerometer is a sidenote, if quite interesting.

Nick… I feel sooo :blush: :blush: :blush: :laughing:

Well, when you are at work, you have to view stuff at like 2.5 seconds to stay out of trouble. :stuck_out_tongue:

same. for me.
