Make: Online : Arduino and a tri-axis accelerometer

Arduino and a tri-axis accelerometer

If there was only a write-up or source code available for this really interesting Arduino project. The only details are that it uses OpenGL and a KXPS5 Accelerometer. This looks like it could be adapted into a really fun game with just a little more code.

Some related code

Hey, I posted some code that uses the wii nunchuck, and sends the pitch and roll data over serial into a simple processing ap this last weekend. It just rotates a cube, but if anyone wants to write a cool physical model like this, that would be rad. All the code is linked from my blog post:
