Our programming testbed is an 8-slot cRIO. After we replaced the thick white 37-pin cable with the ribbon cable from the Kit of Parts, the accelerometer works fine with I2C.

You might have one of the boards that responds to the alternate address of 0xAC instead of the default 0x3A. Try changing that in the example code and see if it starts responding.
