/*
   Memsic2125
   
   Read the Memsic 2125 two-axis accelerometer.  Converts the
   pulses output by the 2125 into milli-g's (1/1000 of earth's
   gravity) and prints them over the serial connection to the
   computer.
   
   The circuit:
	* X output of accelerometer to digital pin 2
	* Y output of accelerometer to digital pin 3
	* +V of accelerometer to +5V
	* GND of accelerometer to ground
