MMA 7260 Q

By Tom Igoe

This PicBasic Pro program reads a 3-axis accelerometer and returns the values serially. Originally tested on a PIC 18F252.

'    example for the MMA7260Q 3-axiz accelerometer. 
'    This program waits for a single byte input on RB7 at 9600 bpd.
'    Then it reads all three axes of the accelerometer,
'    converts the values to a one-byte range, and
'    sends the results out RB6 at 9600 bps.
