Hello everybody,

I've build a small tool to measure 3-axis acceleration of my 3d printer and show them on your computer using python. The data can be safed in case you want to check if some of your upgrades improved stability of your printer (that was actually my goal. Improving something without measuring the impact is not scientific ;-) ). The code works very well on my computer. Currently I am working on an .exe file so that everybody can use this tool without having python. Please tell me if you find any bugs or if you have problems. Wiring the LIS3DSH is very easy and the first entry on google is a guide how to properly wire it. The sensor can measure quite accurate and the range used in my sketch is from -2 to 2 g. After uploading the sketch on the arduino, it takes 5 seconds until you'll receive the first output because an internal calibration is taking place.

Documentation:
You'll find a .pdf within the files! :-)
