DE0-Nano Accelerometer

--This is a re-post due to no response in another form--

----------------------------------------------------

Hello All,

After taking a university course on the DE2 Board I have been interested with the compact and portability of the Nano. With a 3 month wait from US Distributors (digi-key.....) I ordered one from Taiwan and had it in 2 days.

Does anyone have any experience with the accelerometer? I have used the Control panel to read the XYZ outputs but where do they link into VHDL Code?

I have found that:

I2C_SCLK

I2C_SDAT

G_SENSOR_CS_N

G_SENSOR_INT

relate to the accelerometer but with no luck in actually using them.

I was expecting an output lets call "X" that would be assigned different values based on the accelerometer readings but I must be mistaken.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben
