Re: ADXL345 I2C Accelerometer NOT WORKING
We are having the same issue.

Tried multiple DB-37 cables - round, ribbon, several different connectors, etc.
Tried multiple 4-pin I2C cables.
Tried 2 different ADXL345 board.
Tried both a 4-slot and 8-slot cRIO.
Checked that the pull-up resistors in the DSC are working - we see about 3k between 5V and SDA, 5V and SCL.
SDA and SCL see about 4.6V.

We don't have a scope to check waveforms unfortunately.

We are programming in Java, and all we get back are 0.0 for all three axes.

There are no errors thrown.

I would love to get this working, but we opted to use a 2nd analog gyro turned sideways instead.
