Boat,Car,Tank-Game pad MMA7361 + serial XBee by RobotPlace

Game pad MMA7361 + serial XBee

This game pad is no button controller to drive a boat, a car, or a tank with simle inclination:

Valid values for x and y from -250 to +250: -forward....100 to +250 -stop......-100 to +100 -backward..-250 to -100 -left......-250 to -100 -right......100 to +250

How it works:

-switch controller on -LED turns on for 1 sec -LED turns off - indicate accelerometer started callibration -LED turns on - accelerometer callibrated -press the single button to send commands (safety switch) -not pressed buttons => only stop command is sent

I made this for my son to not confuse him with buttons :-)
