+ Esplora Accelerometer
+
+ This sketch shows you how to read the values from the accelerometer.
+ To see it in action, open the serial monitor and tilt the board. You'll see
+ the accelerometer values for each axis change when you tilt the board
+ on that axis.
+
+ Created on 22 Dec 2012
+ by Tom Igoe
+
+ This example is in the public domain.
