Hi everyone,

I've been working on a senior project which is basicly hand motion remote controlled car and I'm planning to use Memsic2125 2-axis accelerometer. At this point I need your suggestions. As I said, with hand motions I have to obtain 4 basic movements, forward,backward,left and right. So, for these movements is MX2125 2-axis accelerometer proper? Also, I'm planning to use TI MSP430 as microcontroller to process the comming signal and transmit them with the help of RF module.

    I would suggest as an alternative to use a propeller, a 10$ WII controller and the xbee modules.
    You'll find a lot of stuff available on the propeller object exchange.
    The WII nunchuck works out of the box, and you have 3 axis accelerometer, a joystick and two buttons, in a fairly decent case (just kidding about the case).
