Stamp and PIC
From the soup of chips and accessories I’ve been looking at for the Basic Stamp from Parallax, I wonder if these accelerometers might give you the system you need to be able to control a puppet or similar without leaving a mac powerbook in the hands of the great british public.
There’s a bunch of modules you can use to extend the stamp, like these.
Also got a PIC from microchip on its way as an alternative platform for experimentation.

Yes, that’d be really good for the puppet. I hadn’t really thought about doing without the laptop before…
I wonder what form it could take - the interesting thing about the puppet on the powerbook is that you manipulate the display directly - there must be something equally interesting to be done with these…
Cheers,
Dave
