The 7 cube is more complex than I want to do. I'd really like to replicate the stuffed animal project that uses Lily Twinkle and Make on Shake.</p>

I will at some point write up the project, and I thought it would be more generally applicable to do it this way.</p></p>

Couldn't you have just run the Audio Breakout Board in key mode and have the Wake on Shake trigger it directly?</p>

I'll post the entire project here or in youtube when it's done. The idea is to design a device that maps the area surrounding the person, and defines the type of obstacles using neural network algorithm and alarm him accordingly through vibrations. This will give him free hands instead of the conventional sticks.
Thank you again</p>

That sounds awesome. However you would probably want to change the wake on shake to wait a few minutes before powering down. That way, if the person is standing on a street corner it's still on (not sure if it needs to be, but just a thought I came up with).</p></p>

I'll use this to power my senior project which is an electronic walking aid for visually impaired. I'll use it to power the circuit only when the person walks. But still not sure if it's capable of providing 5V output or it's only rated at 3.3V.</p>

If I <em>could</em> make things float in the air, it would be the ultimate office organization tool. No more digging through the piles of crap on my desk for my digital caliper!<p>I often wonder if astronauts returning from the ISS have a hard time adjusting to things <em>not</em> floating where they are released, and constantly drop stuff from a moderate height for a few days before remembering that stuff won't stay where it's put.</p></p>
