Prototype Phase 1
1) Spark Fun Triple Axis Accelerometer
The triple axis accelerometer has finally arrived at my doorstep. I opened up my soldering kit and I started to solder 6 small strips of red wire to the pins on the accelerometer.

Specifications and Libraries used
The MMA8452Q is a smart, low-power, three-axis, capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with embedded functions with flexible user-programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. The MMA8452Q has user-selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g with high pass filtered data as well as unfiltered data available in real time. The device can be configured to generate inertial wake-up interrupt signals from any combination of the configurable embedded functions, allowing the MMA8452Q to monitor events and remain in a low power mode during periods of inactivity. This board breaks out the ground, power, I2C and two external interrupt pins.
