Hey,
I've been reading this thread and wondering if Memsic accelerometer used in the
"tilt" scheme is fast enough for a two wheeled robot like the nBot at this
website.

I've been following this thread; I am also using Memsic accelerometers.
Just to make sure that I am clear about what you are referring to, have
you been using the Series ED stamped DIP socket? If you have, how do
you get the supply voltages to pins 4 and 8?
