Thanks guys. Blast from the past, though (this thing must have been on page 30 by now).
I'm going to start working with accelerometers too with the wii nunchuck. I have the connector from SparkFun
I tried my luck with the wii nunchuck and it failed me miserably (I didn't use the premade connector tho, so perhaps I mucked up when resoldering the breakout wires :'(). If you get yours working, I'd enjoy seeing it in action.
