BS2 &ADXL202 Accelerometer

Has anyone used the Analog Device ADXL202
Accelerometer with the BS2 as a tilt sensor? I saw
some information on the AD website about using the ADX
with the BS2 and wondered if anybody tried it. I was
looking for an inexpensive tilt sensor for a robotics
application.
Thanks

    I have used it with the PWM output for X and Y tilt and it's quite
    easy to use. Analog Devices has a Basic Stamp technical note at
    http://www.analog.com/library/applicationNotes/mems/StampXL202.pdf
    that has lots of good info. I would recommend getting the ADXL202EB
    evaluation board that has built in capacitors and is on a small DIP
    board with five .1 inch pins.

    I've used it and have been very pleased. Because of the difficulties in
    prototyping with
    surface mount components, I suggest you either go with the eval board that
    another
    poster mentioned, or you have a board fabricate what you need to mount the
    components.
    I'm having ExpressPCB do mine. Soldering components directly to the chip is
    possible
    (I did it on my first prototypes), but not optimal.
