The VSHLD-FT121 is a G-Sensor Shield, designed to connect directly to an Arduino Pro development board. The shield allows the micro-controller on the Arduino Pro to access the FT121 USB device controller. Using the FTDI FT121 chipset and a three axes linear accelerometer (ST LIS331DLH) device, the module may be used to implement a USB HID game controller. The user may also define other interesting applications from the micro-controller board.
