Sensors?

[Dirk Broer]

How can you get a sensor -for a reasonable price that is, not $45 and then almost the same amount again on postage and packing?

The client itself runs now on my Beaglebone Black -wanting another 9936 hours after logging some 89- but lacks the sensor.
Guess I could try to get a Beaglebone-to-Arduino cape and add an accelerometer on that cape.
Main problem is that Beaglebone parts/add-ons are as scarce as hen's teeth over here....

Hmmmm, I gues this might help, especially when augmented with this:
