<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So the other day I decided to actually bust open
the broken camcorder that my girflriend gave to me. (Salt spray.
Bummer.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed some weird little things antiparallel
to each other that say muRata on them<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>. And
I started to remember - yes - this was one of those camcorders that cancels
out the shakes. Hmmm... So I looked them up - I think they were called
piezoelectric gyroscope transducers. A tranducer element vibrates and outputs
a voltage in relation to coriolis effect or something liek
that.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I immediately had a cool idea for them: I'd
make a two axis- CV controller like one might make out of a
joystick.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perfect for the kind of stuff I build (I have all
kinds of VST stuff for regular music - I make ambient noise things with my
electronics parts.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The circuit is really easy. I'll let you guys
knwo my results when I get it done.</FONT></DIV>
