Acceleromenter ADXL335 Sparkfun breakout by BARRAGAN
Reads values from an accelerometer with X, Y and Z connected to analog inputs 0, 1 and 2 respectively The values read re printed through the serial to be monitored in the console.

    int x, y, z;

    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);           // sets the serial port to 9600
    }

    void loop()
    {
      x = analogRead(0);       // read analog input pin 0
      y = analogRead(1);       // read analog input pin 1
      z = analogRead(2);       // read analog input pin 1
      Serial.print("acceleretations are x, y, z: ");
      Serial.print(x, DEC);    // print the acceleration in the X axis
      Serial.print(" ");       // prints a space between the numbers
      Serial.print(y, DEC);    // print the acceleration in the Y axis
      Serial.print(" ");       // prints a space between the numbers
      Serial.println(z, DEC);  // print the acceleration in the Z axis
      delay(100);              // wait 100ms for next reading
    }
