MMA7660 Module 3 Axis Accelerometer

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

First thing, I downloaded this github program (link at bottom of page) and tried to put it on my Arduino board. I upload the
Sketch to the Arduino and it tells me the 'MMA7660' is not a class or namespace. What am I doing wrong? Is there A
Tutorial out there to help me upload programs from github, put them
into A sketch to download to me Arduino?

Last thing is when I do get this program from github working, I want to use the
Shake sensor on the MMA7660 Module 3 Axis Accelerometer. (as in the #define X_SHAKE 0x80) if that can be done, I don't know, that is why I am on here for help........

The thing you did that caused that error message was not 'upload the Sketch to the Arduino', it was trying to compile ('verify', in Arduino IDE terminology) a sketch.

The code you linked to appears to be a library designed to be used in an Arduino sketch. It is not itself a sketch. You need to write a sketch using it - or perhaps you can find an existing example sketch showing how it would be used.
