step detector!

so it's done. i have a full-fledged step detector.

final components:

3 capicators
1 resistor
1 led
1 accelerometer
1 pic chip
1 xtal (external oscillator)

it sends an alert out over serial when it detects a step, so that my gumstix board can interface with it.
code will be online soon.


here's a short video of the bread-board version in action (the LED lights up when a step is detected):
