What do you connect the accelerometer's lead wires to? A PWM? I know that the accelerometer has to be wired to analog input 1, but what do you use to connect it there? Our team has always used a PWM cable when connecting anything to the robot controller. Any ideas/suggestions? All help is greatly appreciated.

yeah, we just took an old PWM cable and soldered the cables from the accelerometer to the male end of the cable...

I took the the male end of the PWM cable off and just soldered the wires to the accelerometer. Be careful though, the ground and supply are opposite of what you think they may be. Ground is red and supply is black.
