XBpx 360 Motion Sensors

XBox360 Tilt
We know that the Wii has tilt sensors in a number of axis in it’s controller which has opened up a cool generation of games. The XBox 360 does not have this feature built in, but some clever bloke at XBox Scene decided to make a custom tilt sensor which takes over one of the analogue joysticks. The custom built solution works by outputting varying voltages according to how far, fast you tilt the joypad. It has a 3 axis accelerometer. With the use of some micro electronics the analogue voltages are converted to digital to determine how far the joypad is tilted and then interpreted and sent to the XBox. Sounds cool and is a great idea if you want to hack up your controller.
