[Kenn] is working on building a quadrocopter from the ground up for a university project. Currently, his main focus is building an Inertial Measurement Unit, or rather re-purposing a PS3 Move controller as the IMU for his copter. He previously considered using a Wiimote Motion Plus, but the Move has a three-axis magnetometer, which the Wii controller does not.

The ultimate goal for this portion of his project is building custom firmware to run on the Move’s STM32-Cortex microcontroller, allowing him to obtain data from each of the controller’s sensors. Through the course of his research, he has thoroughly documented each sensor on his site, and dumped a full working firmware image from the Cortex chip as well. Recently, he was even able to run arbitrary code on the controller itself, which is a huge step forward.

[Kenn’s] project is coming along very nicely, and will undoubtedly be a great resource to others as he continues to dig through the inner workings of the Move. Be sure to swing by his site if you are looking for information, or if you have something to contribute.

I do. I play Killzone 3 with it and the submachine gun that goes with it. Very fun, and will be useable with Socom:4 next month as well. Smile

Hmm, I'm slowly being proved wrong.

I'm glad though, as deep down I like Sony and think they're a good company.

I nearly bought this today, but decided not to.. In Australia they sell them in two separate lots, $70 per, and you need both for KZ3. Since my copy is still wrapped in plastic I didn't know how good it'd be, so I left it.

What do you mean by the submachine gun that goes with it? Sounds interesting.

To the OP, very interesting too! I hope it goes well.
