Three Axis Accelerometer ADXL345

How to build a Robot on an Arduino that can be controlled by ADXL345 accelerometer:
by J.B. Wylzan


Project 27:  Accelerometer ADXL345

This project shows how to test a 3-axis accelerometer
through the Serial Monitor and control a video camera.






Hardware:
1 accelerometer; ADXL345
1 prototype shield
3 servos (optional)
connecting wires scl5 sda4 cs2
Arduino R3 UNO board

Challenge:
1. Try to control 2 servos, 
2. Try to control 3 servos.
3. Add a Laser beam or a turret
4. Try the Alert Detection below
