Re: Accelerometer Problems

I hope you merely unplugged the 12 volt supply from that analog breakout's power connector so you could get a good photo of the sensor cables...

...but in case that's an accurate picture of how your control system looks when you're running it, the missing power connection explains your problem perfectly. The 12 volt input to the breakout is used to generate the 5 volts to power the accelerometer.

Just so we're clear on this, the tiny green LED on the analog breakout board needs to light up when you power up the control system. If it doesn't, you're not providing power to the sensors.
