Two Arduino posts in one morning, what is the world coming to?

Here’s an Instructable where an Arduino and accelerometer sensor is used to control the Google Earth Flight Simulator on a Windows machine.

I wonder if the same can be done on a Raspberry Pi? At the moment, however, there is no ARM version of Google Earth, so I suppose that knocks that on the head. However, should Google release it for the ARM, I’ll be queueing up on release day!
