You guys have done an excellent job in demonstrating what the accelerometer is capable of. And now it'll only get better with the source code made public. free online games

Hello Andreas ,

Thanks for releasing source code (C for microcontroller and Python for accelerometer phones) :)

@croozeus : all explanation (schematics and steps are with the Python file NOT in the single pdf file !) So download the shakerracer.zip file

sis file (shakerracer application) is only configured for sensor API) ! For using aXYZ on older N95 firmware change use_sensor_api value (put -1 instead of 1) in the ShakerRacer.py file.

Glad to hear that you like it!

Stephan's instructions for the hardware part are contained in the documentation pdf at symbianresources.com as well.

Modifying the car unfortunately doesn't just require reconfiguring existing hardware of the RC car, but instead replacing the wireless receiver and the steering unit with an own module. Standard modules wouldn't be able to handle the Bluetooth stack and frequencies.

Best regards, Andreas

Congrats!
Its great that this is finally released.
However I didn't find anywhere instructions by Stephan Selinger for configuring the micro controller and Bluetooth in the Car?

Can you please provide a link to it? Or is it contained in the docs as well?
