An accellorometer arrived today for use in my project. It arrived all the way from the Netherlands which was nice. I was humoured by the amount of packaging it came with!
I've used a 2p on each photo so you can see the relative sizes :)
The above is how it arrived.
Then there was the chip container that was inside that big envelope.
You see that little white speck, that's about the same size of the Queen's nose? Well that's it. All that packaging for that little lump of silicon!
Genius!
