Harry Potter, where is your PoV wand?

Published 06 August 07 11:02 PM | Coding4Fun 

nope[1]I found out about a game that was done at Microsoft's Puzzle day involving everyone's favorite book, Harry Potter and his wand.  All wand jokes aside, Nathan Pooley, appears to have created the wand and shows how to build a Harry Potter Point of View (PoV) wand.  It detects if you did the correct spell by an onboard accelerometer.  Depending on the movement, it "casts" different spells.

The source code and the PCB diagram can be found at his site along with an FAQ.
