With the sky-high cost of vehicle ownership here, I applaud you for coming into this seemingly saturated market. It seems to me that (at least) you are doing it for the passion, and not (all) for the money. I do look forward to seeing this shine. Take it as a compliment - you're being compared with the best (in my opinion). Good luck, and Gong Hei Fatt Choy to you, your team and your family! Ed Hong,

]]> Comment on Review of a review magazine by Hong http://www.madedition.com/2011/review-of-a-review-magazine#comment-1131 Hong Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:05:24 +0000 http://www.madedition.com/?p=2291#comment-1131 Hi Ed, As the name suggests, Hong here from '9tro Magazine' and 'BLACK Magazine'. Chanced upon your blog a few days back during one of my "search ourselves online" activities, and I must say, it certainly caught my eye. Let me be brutally honest, we are far from perfect. No doubt there are publications out there with less mistakes as compared to us, but do not be deceived to believe that there are publications with 100% accuracy consistently. :-) Having said that, while the team and publications are young (both age of team-members, and thus experience), we are most certainly trying every waking moment to improve along the way. Furthermore, as local as we are, Singapore is but a small nation-state with a small population, and it is truly hard to compete against the likes of Top Gear. Not to mention the varying 'people/companies' backing such a TV-show/publication. (Jokingly, if we had the BBC behind us, our pace of improvements would certainly be quicker). Again, let us look back at the history of Top Gear (originally from 1977), and we will be reminded of the insane amount of sacrifices, perseverance and 'trial-and-errors' they had to endure before they got to where they are today. With all that said, while this is not a plea for forgiving errors and mistakes, it is most certainly a reaffirmation of what my team and myself are striving to be, as good a publication as we can produce. The magazine you saw, was a few issues back, and while this is not to say we have the best publications today (January 2012 saw our Issue 16), again, be certain that we do take into consideration all forms of feedback and constructive criticism so as to improve. While I am certain your time is precious, and that you may have better things to do, I would love to squeeze out time to meet you for a cup of coffee! :-) We will continue to work hard, but can only do so with a strong and supportive domestic market! cheers` Hong Hi Ed,

My code only takes a reading every 20 milliseconds or so... and the raw readings look pretty stable. Not constant, but not *wildly random*. Hope this helps!

I'm a complete beginner to the accelerometers subject , is there anyway you could help me pleaaase??? I have the same accelerometer you're using, the MMA7341L and I'm working on a different project in which the basic idea is : if there's a considerable movement , activate a sound , if you're not moving or baarely moving, do nothing.... But when I connect the accelerometer to the arduino I get weird numbers from the accelerometers, I don't move it and there are still changes in the values printed, how do you get correct readings from this specific accelerometer? Again, I'm a complete beginner and can't seem to find the answer in the datasheet ... Hope you can help me , thanks! Hi !
