Hey, don't know if you are aware, but there is a new meetup group called
Philly Tech Breakfast which is actually pretty cool. They basically allow

Some of you have seen me lurking and playing pinball at Hive. I'm hoping
to join as a dismember in order to learn more about Arduino and other
interactive devices. I really enjoy the variety of projects happening

First attempt at balancing Thunder Tumbler

mikehoga...@gmail.com (Michael Hogan) — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:04:35 UT

Trying to get this Thunder Tumbler to stabilize on two wheels with a LIS302

I will post a link to the sketch and the libraries in a reply to this post
