Sudden voltage drop on MAX756

I got the MAX756 that I was waiting for from Futurlec. The idea was to implement the very same circuit that comes in the MAX756 datasheet. In my first try I got very strange results which I posted to ladyada forum hoping to get some advice on how to solve. Eventually I set up the circuit in another breadboard and got it working the way I expected or at least I thought so. ...

Arduino library for MMA7260Q (Tilt Sensor)

In the past days I published a couple of arduino libraries. All coming from by XBee sensor development. I’m still waiting for the MAX756 to arrive from Futurlec, I need the MAX756 to power the xbee sensor with batteries and mount it in its final position. So in the meanwhile I’m cleaning a little bit the code, moving thing to libraries, etc. Now it’s the turn of the MMA7260Q, (see other posts about MMA7260q) . I created an Arduino library to use MMA7260Q as a Tilt Sensor that does autozero calibration. ...
