Trouble with the AXDL345_I2C accelerometer.

Thank you, that is good to know. Now, I am curious though, how it works at all if I'm reading the spec sheet correctly.

Yes, as verified by it running several servos (as mentioned), and on all the power LEDs. However, it was pointed out to me shortly before I left today that it had 24V going in to it (it should have 12V), so that may be the issue. My mind is blown that it was properly running the servos at the correct voltage with twice the voltage running in to it.

Yes, we must have checked that 100 times today.

In Java anything that's not a primitive (various sized ints, 32&64 bit floats, boolean and char) is automatically a pointer (or "reference" in Java-speak).
