3-axis accererometer MMA7361

@Paul Badger

3-axis accererometer MMA7361

What are the final "units of measurement" of the MMA7361 in the demo program?
I am just a novice.
tiltx = atan2( sqrt((y*y) + (z*z)), x);
tilty = atan2( sqrt((x*x) + (z*z)), y);
tiltz = atan2( sqrt((y*y) + (x*x)), z);

Re: JeeNode 915 kits

No biggie? All the information, I have seen shows straight headers and I expected straight headers.
I paid for straight headers. :evil:

JeeNode 915 kits

I bought two JeeNode 915 kits V5 and for the qty 4 6 pin female I/O headers they had
right angle connectors. They should be straight. (both kits)
Any reason why? :o

Re: New Development Board Suggestion: "USB BUB BBB"

The whole idea of the BBB is to separate the seldom used USB circuitry from the always used microcontroller. Maybe for your "stand alone" applications. For others, like me, having the PC tied to the BBB constantly via USB BUB suits me fine. That is why I suggested to have the circuit alre...

New Development Board Suggestion: "USB BUB BBB"

New Development Board Suggestion: "USB BUB BBB" There are many times that having just an BBB board with USB built in is all a person needs. The power draw of a 328P idle is 25 ma and the USB max. current is 100 ma. On your BBB board do the following: #1. Remove all power supply options. #2...

BUB Board Static Protection

Would it or could it be possible to find a "clear" heat shrink sleeve to encase the BUB board from shorting out and static electricity?
The end user would just slip the "clear heat shrink" tubing over the BUB after his configuration.

Re: Modicon Modbus RTU Slave protocol comes to the Arduino/Freed

It's really any device that has digital inputs, digital outputs, analog inputs, analog outputs, a comport for communications, memory for program storage and a CPU for processing control instructions. The ATMega168/Arduino/Freeduino fits this description. With the Modbus RTU networking protocol you c...

Modicon Modbus RTU Slave protocol comes to the Arduino/Freed

The functions codes have been reduced to only two (Function codes 3 and 6). This industrial PLC networking protocol will allow multiple Slaves (Arduinos/Freeduinos) to be connected to one Master via RS485. You can also use it "point to point" using RS232. Error checking is provided by a CR...

Re: RBBB with ATMega328p ?

Paul, it is the second chip I am talking about - The first chip goes on your standard RBBB and is the ATMega168p chip.
The second chip has "double the resources" of your Freeduino chip.
