[PD] Attaching a Sensor to Acoustic Instruments Question

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

First off, don't expect perfect results, that'll set you up for  
failure.  Sounds like you want an accelerometer for x/y/z  
acceleration, and for position, you'll need to add something like a  
gyro or the wii controller's infrared camera tracking the light bar.   
Perhaps the Wii controller would be a good place for you to start?
