# arduino-accelerometer-and-data-logger

This project was intended to create a low cost accelerometer with portable DAQ system.  The system consisted of a three axis accelerometer, an Arduino and a data logging shield.  When the user presses the start/stop (on/off) button the Arduino will start logging the output from the accelerometer.  

The following is the parts list:

* [+/- 3G triple axis accelerometer ($15)](https://www.adafruit.com/products/163)
