Noisy Accelerometer

You can also turn up the oversampling in the analog input. I've used 8 bits of oversample with good results.

How exactly does one do this?

Sounds like a good theory, but the signal is flat/normal when the robot is still and only really begins when the robot begins moving. We've thought about averaging the signal, but dismissed it due to the large range of values.
