How to Read Data from BMA180, but always in the positive range?

@pylon:
Thanks, i will try it..

@michinyon:
i want to make 3 axis gimbal for my project. I use 3 servo motors and this Multiwii board:

Those board is Arduino based. There are 4 sensors, but i just use BMA180 accelerometer and ITG3205 Gyroscope for my 3 axis gimbal. The Multiwii board is coming with the program, but the gimbal program is only for 2 Axis. Besides that, I want to make a program by my self from the beginning.

So i learn all from beginning, including reading data from BMA180..

can you help me in making 3 axis gimbal? is there anything that can be a reference for me?

Thank You..
