Accelerometer Basics
A quick introduction to accelerometers, how they work, and why they're used.
Are You Okay? Widget
Use an Electric Imp and accelerometer to create an "Are You OK" widget. A cozy piece of technology your friend or loved one can nudge to let you know they're OK from half-a-world away.
Motion Controlled Wearable LED Dance Harness
Control LEDs based on your movement using an accelerometer! Make your LEDs breathe by fading in and out when laying on the floor, turn off the LEDs when moving to your side, or make the LEDs blink in a headstand!
Wireless Gesture Controlled Robot
Control the RedBot wirelessly based on the movement of your hand using an accelerometer, Arduino, and XBees!
