Reply to Accelerometers

The really nice ones have 3 axis (ADXL330). So that means you need 3 analog ports to plug into.

Anyone had good experience with these types of things outside of a wiimote?

I'd like to build a wristband with an accelerometer (with it's sensor on my middle finger like a ring.) I believe it'd be wicked to control effects with the wave of a hand. But I'm curious as to how possible it'd be...

Thoughts?

With my obsession with all things wireless, I was believeing about gutting a wireless joystick for the job. (I believe most joysticks have 3-4 analog sensors, am I right?)

Seems like it'd be a simple cut and paste job.
