MMA7361 Accelerometer Basics Arduino Code

This document discusses using an MMA7361 3-axis accelerometer with an Arduino board. It provides code for a sketch that reads the accelerometer's X, Y, and Z axis values and displays them in the serial monitor. The sketch initializes serial communication at 115200 baud and continuously prints the raw analog readings for each axis in a loop, subtracting offset values to set the output near zero when stationary.
