Setting up the oscilloscope to read accelerometer output

[dareck322]

Hi there. Does anyone know how to set up the oscilloscope to read the output from the ADXL335 accelerometer? I've been trying to get the following output reading format shown here:

Thanks in advance for any help given =)

You say you have been trying? So what is the output and what is the part you needed help?

At the moment, I've only been able to see the level changes of the accelerometer due to tilting. Example: a roll to the left in the Y-axis would provide an approx. 1.2V output.

And I would only be able to see the whole level of the voltage move upwards or downward due to left and right motions in the Y-axis. I am unable to produce a sort of sine wave-like output as shown in the youtube link

Increase the time scale of your oscilloscope to around 0.5 - 1 second.
