Re: [AVR-Chat] Platform Design for Camera

2007-01-23 by Thomas Keller

You want to use an X-Y accelerometer sensor for this application. TI 
just announced a new X-Y-Z accelerometer chip for about $3 (US) which 
would probably be perfect for this application. They alos offer numerous 
useful applicaitons notes on the application and use of the 
accelerometers in such applications as you have described.
