What's your question about it? They did only send one, so you can only use it in one axis. What did you want to use it for? It gives an analog 0-5 output so you hook it up to the analog inputs ports on the controller.

We've had some pretty good luck with the Analog Devices (www.analog.com) MEMS stuff (most of their accelerometer's are 2 axis), though we've done a lot more with the gyro's than the accelerometers. www.sparkfun.com sells some boards with them mounted or you can buy the EB's from analog.
