is it a bad idea to to try and record 6 different accelerometers up to all six analog ins, so each analog in has a accelerometer hooked up to it? and also, how do i get that serial data that is coming to record somewhere, to where i can transport it to another computer. thanks
Well i have the six accelerometers streaming data through the board via analog and i was wondering how to save the data in a place that i could use it to graph out plots of the data. I stream the data using the analogread() command, im not sure where this data goes or if it gets stored and saved, i need to store all six values of the accelerometers over and over again, thanks

It's not a particularly bad idea, but you need to be aware that the Arduino only has a single analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) shared between the six inputs, so successive samples on any one particular channel will be spaced apart by 600us or so, assuming a simple round-robin sampling.
I have it sending the data via usb to a computer right now from the arduino board, it would be nice to get the data into matlab or another data software continously or real time.
