Today, I am going to show you how easy it is to connect, and use, a Memsic 2125 Accelerometer from the Maker Shed. This sensor is able to detect tilt, acceleration, rotation, and vibration with a range of ±2 g. It can be used for making balancing robots, game controllers, musical instruments and more. I'll get you started...what you do next is up to you!

jumper wires wouldn't be used in a finalized project, so why does it matter? They work and that's all they need to do. They're easy to put in, easy to pull out, what more do you want from them?

There is also a video showing an Arduino using an accelerometer to make a Wii like controller here:
