iight guys here is the code...
int groundpin = 18; // analog input pin 4
int powerpin = 19; // analog input pin 5
int xpin = 3; // x-axis of the accelerometer
int ypin = 2; // y-axis
int zpin = 1; // z-axis (only on 3-axis models)
long xy_max = 470;
long xy_min = 550;
int forwardPin = 9;
int backPin = 10;
int leftPin = 11;
int rightPin = 12;
int centerPin = 8;
long x = 0;
long y = 0;
void setup()
{

pinMode(forwardPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(backPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(leftPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(rightPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(groundpin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(powerpin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(groundpin, LOW);
digitalWrite(powerpin, HIGH);
}
void loop()
{
x = analogRead(xpin);
y = analogRead(ypin);
digitalWrite(centerPin, LOW);
if (y < xy_max) { //backwards
digitalWrite(backPin, HIGH);
Serial.println("The arduino is moving(tilted) backwards");
} else if (y >= xy_max){
digitalWrite(backPin, LOW);
}
if (y > xy_min) { //forwards
digitalWrite(forwardPin, HIGH);
Serial.println("The arduino is moving(tilted) forwards");
} else if (y <= xy_min){
digitalWrite(forwardPin, LOW);
}
if (x > xy_min) { //left
digitalWrite(leftPin, HIGH);

} else if (x <= xy_min){
