... in robotics at an Illinois’ Boy Scout Jamboree, Engineer Dan Toborowski built this amazing accelerometer-controlled marble maze. Check it out: I recently completed a project involving wireless control of a Parallax BOE-Bot using an accelerometer and decided to adapt this system to control a custom-built 2 axis maze assembly. Accelerometers can be ...

Some old-fashioned games simply don't need a 21st century makeover—like the wooden marble maze. Adding accelerometer control seems like a pointless endeavor. I mean, it's not the kind of game that should be played at a distance, and this custom-built board doesn't even have holes along the track. Although, I have to give the designer credit for the gumball prize—that ...

This is a Sure Electronics low G 3-axis accelerometer prototype board connected to a Miduino (Arduino clone) streaming continuous MIDI controller info to Reason. There are 3 controllers mapped here to delay feedback on drums, and mod wheel/pitchbend on a bass synth. The Arduino code if pretty much the same as ...

... Phone Ensemble” course. Each iPhone has been programmed to deliver a different sound when each function is used. The touchscreen, microphone, GPS, compass, wireless sensor and accelerometer have all been tinkered with, so Georg Essl, the lecturer/computer scientist/musician can turn the cacophony into something resembling music. We say “something” very loosely, as you can see ...

You, too? Maybe we need something even more daunting, like our own DIY arcade. At any rate, this Windoze-based hack is pretty damn cool, admit it. (Source: Starlino via Make)

Or, maybe 25 of them? These were featured on the latest Mouser catalog I received (that thing is huge, isn't it?) and look like they might have a lot to offer from a maker perspective. At $1.42 each, I'm going to have to get some ordered soon to try out.
