Go to Post first post and the FRC "well what is a stick" comes in. Toothpick, does it need to be round, does a carbon fiber chain of Buckie balls count as a stick. CD posters are sooooo predictable. - Foster [more]

I am not sure what you meant by apply power. If you have connected the accelerometer correctly to the I2C bus, the I2C bus has power pins that supply power to the accelerometer. You don't need to have code to "apply power". The moment you turn on the Robot, the accelerometer should be powered. I would check the wiring of the accelerometer to make sure you have the +5, GND, SCL and SDA pins connected correctly and the digital side car has power and you have fixed your DB37 cable.
