- The programming is design to control the servo motor which is the servo motor acts an output while the accelerometer acts as an input.

//the accelerometer while standing still

//convert read values to degrees -90 to 90 - Needed for atan2
int xAng = map(xRead, minVal, maxVal, -90, 90);
int yAng = map(yRead, minVal, maxVal, -90, 90);
//int zAng = map(zRead, minVal, maxVal, -90, 90);
//Caculate 360deg values like so: atan2(-yAng, -zAng)
//atan2 outputs the value of -π to π (radians)
//We are then converting the radians to degrees
//x = RAD_TO_DEG * (atan2(-yAng, -zAng) + PI);
//y = RAD_TO_DEG * (atan2(-xAng, -zAng) + PI);
z = RAD_TO_DEG * (atan2(-yAng, -xAng) + PI);
//Output the caculations
//Serial.print("x: ");

delay(100);//just here to slow down the serial output - Easier to read
