I would love some comments about this:

3D Movement Using Accelerometer

For the 3D Model i used 3ds max
I used Python, Panda3D to make it... Any thoughts? Also any suggestions on software to create something similar? It wasnt hard but i would love to know how everyone else may accomplish the same thing with different software.

Nice work man! You are spitting out pretty sophisticated projects like a mad man. It's impressive what you and some other hobbyists are pumping out these days.

How hard is python to learn? I'm still a baby....scratch that..... ,fetus, with C, but I would like to eventually move on to other languages.

Python is easy kinda like Basic and C mixed heh... But its a whole new thing meaning you have to know whats where like the libraries/modules you can use and how to call them... There arent anything like types really.. So there is no INT, char, string... you simply use

Code:

x = 7
y = 8
z = y-x
theName = " Apples "

print y,theName,' - ',x,theName,'= ' ,z

but you have to be careful with the syntax!

a space isnt a space here heh

Like to make a loop:

Code:

y=20
x=0
while(x<y):
    x=x+1

The above will loop fine

Code:

y=20
x=0
while(x<y):
x=x+1

This one wont work

Hey Jason, I did something like this in 2D a while ago (i only had a 2D sensor). Now a 3D one is 20$ and I plan on expanding this project sometime soon.
**broken link removed**
I used C#

nice!! my accelerometer is only 2 axis also. I would love a 3 axis one heh...

Where did you get the C# code? I was looking everywhere for some but had to learn Python to do mines heh...

its pretty cool.. but i think loading a actual 3ds model is hard as heck... the panda 3d version i did is so easy. I changed the link in my blog so it now includes the python source and a 3d model.. so anyone who has panda3d and python installed can try it out
