Help - Have I broken something? Accelerometer from Wii, LM35, RGBW LED, 6m Tower

Other Hardware Sensors
1

I have just installed a micro wind turbine at the bottom of my garden.

At the top of the 6m main pole I fitted a accelerometer from a wii nun chuck. This is in a waterproof container which was filled with candle wax to seal it completely.

Last night I connected the accelerometer to a Arduino and got reading that I expected.

Its wired A4 A5 3.3 GND

I then added some code to switch the RGBW 1200 LED beacon which is also at the top of the tower, everything was fine This is a board of transistors that has been tested OK, wired 6,9,10,11

I then added a LM35 on A0 and the code

Uploaded and all was fine, (after i switch the LM35 round the right way? Very hot!)

after it had been running a while i noticed the accelerometer readings where strange

Accel X -21467
Accel Y -27647
Accel Z -16234
Temp 5
Accel X -21465
Accel Y 23555
Accel Z -24749
Temp 5
Accel X -21467
Accel Y -27647
Accel Z -6171
Temp 5
Accel X -21466
Accel Y 23555
Accel Z -28699
Temp 6
Accel X -21465
Accel Y 12291
Accel Z 15383
Temp 6
Accel X -21466
Accel Y 24579
Accel Z 27770
Temp 6
Accel X -21465
Accel Y 24579
Accel Z 27843
Temp 5

Has anyone got any idea what has happened?

If i load just accelerometer code the readings are still wrong -4567, 3, 5678

The readings before where in the -/+ 500 like i would expect

I can't put schematics or photos yet as I am at work, I was just after "it could be......" answers for now

Basic Wii code

What i really need someone to say that the accelerometer is NOT broken and I do NOT have to climb my DIY 6M tower! :fearful:

I will try another Arduino this evening, but any other suggestion would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance
