The CatchAllSensor project aims to build a small free software free/open hardware device for use in detecting movement when attached to a computer system.

The basic design is to make the cheapest sensor possible and will likely be built from the following parts:

Optionally, though nearly tripling the cost it, may be nice to add an Accelerometer and a case:

Another Accelerometer config (and cheaper than the one above), would be:
