new neo item --- PSP motion kit released!

[Sektor]

The price is now $69.

Looking at the demo program source, it appears it only gives XYZ acceleration and not tilt/rotation. It will be some clever math work to get those values. I might get one just to play around with that.

 it appears it only gives XYZ acceleration and not tilt/rotation --- exactly, it don't build in tilt because the size limit

So it's like the Wii/ps3 remotes which are only accelleromiters (due to gravity, you always can calculate tilt. ^_^

Just so I get this right, the value is only 8bit in range (0 to 255)? What value range does it give when the unit is at rest on a flat surface?

Lastly, any chance for a small rumble unit next? (maybe someone can hack rumble in the popstation prx, as well could add support in daedalus for n64 games).

I'd expect the values to range between 118 to 138. Might be less though. Other than that, i expect the value to jump around if near 128.

Not sure thought because i obviously don't have the motion kit. But definately on my 'must-have' list no less.

My order has been processed!
 

[Da_MerV]

Hooray! It came in today! Amazing, it senses perfectly! 

[Da_MerV]

Could someone please explain to me which field is which in XYZ? Which way do I turn it to change what variable?

[Sektor]

X would be lean left/right, Y lean forward/back.

can u please post a video of it because aim planing to buy a one ones it's works with commercial games
thanks

No commercial games yet, and virtual no homebrew, but I'm working on something. I don't have a camera so I can't really make a good video, sorry.

X would be lean left/right, Y lean forward/back.

I got that far, I was wondering about Z. But no worries, I figured it out experimentally.

When I tested mine out, it ranged between 75 and 182. On a flat surface it stayed 128 plus/minus 4.

I think Z is rotation arount the center, like a car steering wheel.

[Da_MerV]

Actually, you're thinking of X. Z is like a second Y, only, it is offset at 90 degrees. This way, you can calculate rotation and tilt in full 360 degrees.
