Our team was lucky enough to receive a LabView data acquisition module and software($2700) to play around with. It has a 14bit A/D converters to acquire data that can be shown graphs. I want to try and use this to speed up our development.
I've seen his '05 accelerometer code; it had the ADC built into it (rather than seperate like he did with the gyro in '06), so it wouldn't work with other sensors using analog ports at the same time. It does acceleration similar to mine, I just went a step further and tried to calculate velocity and position as well.

14 bits is alot better resolution than you'll get on the robot controller; keep that in mind, as there is a huge difference in what you can measure between these. A 14 bit A/D will make each number in the output practically 1 millig for the kit accelerometer, while the A/D on the FRC controller has about 16 milligs for each number on the output.
