Task 32 -- the Triple Axis Accelerometer

"Find the post on the Triple Axis Accelerometer. 
 This is an example of a sensor we have to deal with.   
 Find out more information about this sensor 
 and compose a schematic illustrating how you would use an Arduino to (record) real acceleration in     
 three dimensions and display the outputs. 
 Your blog output should contain a schematic and code." 

Umm, here's my post on the hardware (with pikkie!).

Now we should have a schematic.. 
(Fritzing is good for drawing schematics!)

Here's the datasheet.. 

..& a circuit diagram (courtesy of Fritzing) showing how the accelerometer is connected to an Arduino board & external power source (not complicated at all, is it)
