Re: How to read Cypress values properly?
Do you want to detect rotation or translation? If you want to slide the box to one side, just look for a change from a predefined center point. If you want to twist the box, it is more complex. Since an accelerometer is not a gyro, it does not detect rotation. There are two ways to handle this: You could move it in an arc (and detect the sideways motion) or try to determine which direction is down by seeing how gravity is affecting each axis. Or, you could get a 3.3v gyro and integrate it in software (you cannot use the WPI Gyro code for this).
