Nice work!

What do you hink of the accelerometer (would you recommend it), and where did you get hold of it?

Thanks!

I would highly recommend it, it's a great little board.

The site I bought it from (crodnet.co.uk) has been down for the last few weeks (which made finding a datasheet rather difficult), so I'm not sure you can get them any more.

Hi Alex,

Did you find a datasheet? I bought two of the Crodnet KXPS5 boards in 2008 - but can't find the datasheet I downloaded. I can now only find one for a black version on the board, which is slightly different to the white one.

Thanks,
Neill
