Two-axis 2g accelerometer with SpYder and a Freescale micro

g-Force on LEDs

Here’s a playful yet educational application of a Freescale MC9S08 microcontroller. It continues from last month’s Attack of the SpYder article and should help you get to grips with the basics of migrating an MC9S08 micro from thinkware to hardware, all along an extremely low-cost route with three free items thrown in exclusively for Elektor readers.
