[plug] anyone experimenting with Arduino? mpu-6050? headtracking?

[Marcus Holmes]

from my experiments with the Arduino, there's shields for everything. I
bought a bluetooth shield for $10 ish to experiment with, haven't got it
working yet but it's on the pile of "things to do this year" and the
instructions seemed simple enough. There's also ethernet shields if you
want to use that.

Not sure about using the serial connectivity that it uses for debug for
connecting to another process. I guess it's possible but haven't tried
it. 

I doubt you'd be able to connect it as a standard PC peripheral at all,
well I expect there's a shield for that but it won't do it out of the
box for sure.
