Title: looking for something
Post by: Tri-edge on January 23, 2009, 12:03:13 AM: I'm looking for a tilt sensor part (or parts) that allows me to tilt a controller/psp/ds lite/whatever in the up, down, left, and right directions and actually move your character in that direction.

I need to be able to hook it up to a button on that system/controller.

any help?

It is analog I believe so it may be a bit harder to use on a digital input, but you never really know. Order the schiznit up and I will help you figure out what you need to do :winker:

if that doesn't work order some ball switches, the kind in a small glass valve with a rolling ball that closes the circuit.

All you other countries had to do was encase the original glass bulb in plastic covers similar to what they use on some reed switches now, and use insulated wire and they'd still be legal.

and look me, im still *twitch* completely *twitch* fine *PUNCHES A HOLE IN WALL*
