    Wiimote accelerometer

    [Update:] Thanks Lidberg for hosting!! I got this idea after seeing some physics class use the wiimote in some kinda pendulum experiment. Why not use the wiimote's built in 3-axis accelerometers to measue g-forces, acceleration and even calculate my own 0-60mph times! So I did. I wrote a script...


    I was JUST thinking about how a wiimote would work perfectly for this application like a week ago. Guess someone beat me to the punch

    That's pretty cool! Those guys bagging on him were obviously too dumb to realize the kind of ingenuity it took to come up with this. I bet that kid does well in his chosen career.

    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

      Pretty cool, but kind of expensive if you don't just have the stuff laying around. If you do :up:

                Ahhh yes the dentist, I know him well.
                I have a wiimote, maybe I should try it. Or just solve call of duty.
