Quick Update: Accelerometer Issues

We've run into a problem a few days ago with the data from the accelerometer. It seemed as if the data was corrupted. We previously had tried numerous codes, ones we had done and ones from online resources. The data coming in was always looping between a certain set of numbers. Tilting or moving the accelerometer would not effect the values. We did not know what the problem was so we creased working for the weekend. That was a few days ago. We picked up working on the issue today after a few busy days of coursework. During our previous attempt we could not figure out why the accelerometer data was corrupted. So dedicated part of our time today on trying to figure it out. After numerous attempts of new code, new wiring setup, and readjusting where the ribbon was cut we were unsuccessful in our attempts to solve the problem. Our conclusion is that the accelerometer seems to be damaged in some way and this is not allowing us to continue to work on that end of the project. Our next step to get hold of a new accelerometer and then get back on track.
