Three Axis Low-g Micromachined Accelerometer

Hi:

Anyone deal with some Three Axis Low-g
Micromachined Accelerometer???

is for a project of self stand robotics
toys, Picaxe Controlated.(Of course <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)

I found several chips but...
Here a couple of datasheets:

and other

Wait for responses...

Not sure what you want to know but they main problem that I have found with MEMS accelerometers is their surface mount packaging and difficulty of purchasing them in low quantities. The likes of Farnell and Maplin are useless, whilst Spark Fun Electronics supply a range of breakout boards.

I haven't that problem, here I can purchase it (no more than 10 same day) and the sockets
can be purchased too, or recycled from a bunch of old mainboards I have around.(maybe)
Cost around of 1.4 to 2.6 U$S in two distributors here

The real question is... how interface it with PicX and how many accuracy can get?
Must be fast and accurated or the robotic toy fall down.

Parallax sell memsic acclerometers mounted on DIP boards. I have used them with picaxe. I was taking 5 readings a second in my app. Im sure they can do a lot faster.

Try www.dimensionengineering.com as well. Lots of cool stuff.
