Help: Arduino + LIS302

This is my first time connecting a sensor to Arduino.

I want to learn setup required to connect LIS302 (accelerometer ) to Arduino Pro Mini.

  1. I would like the data from LIS302 to be displayed (prefer graphic ) on laptop (for now at least) whenever LIS302 board is moved.

  2. How should the connection look like between Arduino and LIS302 ?
    I recall LIS302 board has MOSI, MISO, VCC, GND, CS etc pins.

  3. Do I need to download Processing software on my PC to be able to read data from sensor and display on PC monitor ? Or is there any other suggestion ?

  4. Any chance I can find a sample code for LIS302 and Arduino ?

  5. Any tips/advice that I should be aware of for this to work ?

TIA
