Memsic2125
Read the Memsic 2125 two-axis accelerometer. Converts the
pulses output by the 2125 into milli-g's (1/1000 of earth's
gravity) and prints them over the serial connection to the
computer.
The circuit:
* X output of accelerometer to digital pin 2
* Y output of accelerometer to digital pin 3
* +V of accelerometer to +5V
* GND of accelerometer to ground
