The GBAccelerometer is a 3-axis Kionix accelerometer that plugs into the Gameboy Advance link port to enable full motion sensing on the Gameboy Advance.
It is the first motion sensor that can be used for homebrew GBA development, and the only 3-axis accelerometer available for handheld gaming.
How it works:
The GBAccelerometer contains a Kionix tri-axis accelerometer that communicates with the GBA using SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) through the link port.
Custom software turns the accelerometer on, reads the accelerations, and controls the display based on the accelerometer readings.
What it can be used for:
There are many uses for the GBAccelerometer:
Tilt Sensing
Motion Sensing
Gesture Recognition
Possibilities are endless
Games or applications can be written or modified to work with GBAccelerometer, using the C code that is available from www.kionix.com/gbaccelerometer
To use homebrew games with the GBAccelerometer, you will need to put them on a GBA flash cartridge and plug the GBAccelerometer into the link port. There are no emulators that support the GBAccelerometer.
