DE0-Nano Accelerometer

Hello All, 

 

After taking a university course on the DE2 Board I have been interested with the compact and portability of the Nano. With a 3 month wait from US Distributors (digi-key.....) I ordered one from Taiwan and had it in 2 days.  

Does anyone have any experience with the accelerometer? I have used the Control panel to read the XYZ outputs but where do they link into VHDL Code? 

 

I have found that: 

I2C_SCLK 

I2C_SDAT 

G_SENSOR_CS_N 

G_SENSOR_INT 

 

relate to the accelerometer but with no luck in actually using them. 

 

I was expecting an output lets call "X" that would be assigned different values based on the accelerometer readings but I must be mistaken. 

 

Any direction would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

Ben
