[sdiy] STM32 processor

[MTG]

Do you know if it can do tilt (inclinometer)? I've wondered how tilt is done 
with similar devices.

Discovery's got motion sensor, nice for creating a theremin like
synth, and audio sensor (microphone I guess) which could be used for
creating vocoders like FX.

Here are the key features:


*   STM32F407VGT6 microcontroller featuring 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F
core, 1 MB Flash, 192 KB RAM in an LQFP100 package
*  On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a
standalone ST-LINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and
debugging)
*    Board power supply: through USB bus or from an external 5 V supply 
voltage
*    External application power supply: 3 V and 5 V
*    LIS302DL, ST MEMS motion sensor, 3-axis digital output accelerometer
*    MP45DT02, ST MEMS audio sensor, omni-directional digital microphone
*    CS43L22, audio DAC with integrated class D speaker driver
*    Eight LEDs:
       * LD1 (red/green) for USB communication
       * LD2 (red) for 3.3 V power on
       * Four user LEDs, LD3 (orange), LD4 (green), LD5 (red) and LD6 (blue)
       * 2 USB OTG LEDs LD7 (green) VBus and LD8 (red) over-current
*    Two push buttons (user and reset)
*    USB OTG FS with micro-AB connector
*    Extension header for all LQFP100 I/Os for quick connection to
prototyping board and easy probing
