1) is he right?
2) is there any way to connect it to the vex system?
3) how?
4) if not, are there any accelerometers that are vex compatible?
5) how would i program it in easyc?

Thanks for your help

The 2axis acelerometers from Radio Shack are not analog. They are digital sensors that display output as a frequency. The analog output is a callibration output.
