Just a note on the ADXRS610 -- if using the EVAL-ADXRS610 board, this board is not pin-equivalent to the ADXRS300EB. There is an additional +5V input that needs to be wired on the EVAL-ADXRS610 (as compared to the ADXRS300EB) and we also found that the two EVAL-ADXRS610 boards we purchased from DigiKey did not have connected ground planes, contrary to the datasheet for the board. Accordingly, we also needed to explicitly connect both ground planes when wiring up the board.

I've been intending to email Analog Devices to let them know of the datasheet inaccuracy, but I've been waiting until I get a round tuit.

Just figured I'd try to save you the 6 or so hours we wasted figuring out the above.
