Sorry for my ignorance, but doesnt the datasheets mention that it
contains both analog and digital outputs and either may be used.

the use of a Parallax Basic Stamp.  There will be a lot of algorithm
development to turn the acceleration data into something useful, like say
inertial navigation, and you'd eventually need a gyro to deal with rotation
in the x-y plane.  It would be an interesting project.

My two Cents,

Hi,

I just order two free samples of Analog Devices ADXL202E at
http://products.analog.com/products/info.asp?product=ADXL202.  Anyone
know if this can be hooked up to the RCX?

magazine...
