Thank you. Just in time, I ordered my MMA7455 the other day
mini-b is coming sooner than I thought... all the better because my rad is ready for a ez-b.
new board image in controls help for EZ-B v3 Mini! Does this mean what I think it does? Can you drop a hint when they will be available? Hope you have a pile on hand. They are going to sell like hot cakes. Maybe you should put a limit on how many one household can buy. Don't want RobotMaker to swoop in and buy out the store.
Not much info was "let slip" by DJ on the EZ-B Mini in this topic but we can all speculate on it.
@DJ Dude you are on holidays till next week you said. Take a break man. But thank you for the hard work.
Plus what is a MMA755?
The MMA7455 is an I2C Accelerometer
oh ok thanks Rich
