C=Bat

Been playing with my Accelerometer this weekend.

We're playing "Street Sports Baseball" on the C64 using
the Parallax interface & Accelerometer mounted on wiffle bat.
I'm using Beau's .spin to measure G force to detect the swing.

Happy 4th! (and weekend)

    Hey, you made Hackaday!
    www.hackaday.com/2008/07/05/wii-style-controls-for-the-commodore-64/

    In fact, there's been a few Prop-related posts there of late. I saw Tim's LED boards there sometime recently.

    If I know Jeff, he had a C64 in his son's crib instead of a mobile.

    Nice job!

    @PJ Allen:
    He has some interest in it. He owns one and likes some of the games.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
    Matt attended the C= Expo with me again this year, but spent a lot of time
    playing Runescape on my laptop.

    @parts-man:
    Did you notice the use of the Protoboard?

    Thanks for the kind comments, it would not have been possible without
    a couple people straightening out my transistor understanding. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Next up, attaching the Accelerometer to a modified skateboard so we
    can play Skate or Die on a real skate board.
