Have you ever had in mind to measure the acceleration of your frisbee ?
This guy did! and he is looking for the right sensor to do so.
We proposed him two comprehensive solutions based on Freescale solutions:
- a standalone battery powered board featuring the accelerometer and a System on Chip embedding the radio transceiver and an 8-bit MCU from the Freescale S08 family (MC13213) that you could stick on the frisbee to measure the acceleration
- an USB dongle featuring a radio transceiver (MC13191) and an 8-bit MCU embedding an USB device controller (MC9S08JW).
Another alternative could be to acquire a Freescale Freedom board based on a newer MCU from the Kinetis family (ARM Cortex-M core) as they all embeds the digital accelerometer Freescale MMA8455.
