aaa. btw the MXC6225XU is basically "are we vertical, are we horizontal" it doesn't provide any kind of "tilt" or angle, and it is 2-axis not 3-axis. the data output is either 0x00 or 0xff.
In fact it *gives* you an output for X and Y (Which is from -128 to 127).
i have the prototype first tablet, i tested the MXC6225 which was installed on it: the only values given were 0x00 and 0xff. the MXC6225 is basically for ultra-low-cost devices where all you need to know is:
"is this device upright or is it on its side, yes or no".
a games console may wish to use an accelerometer (or tilt system) where the motion of the device - a small tip to the left - is used in essence as a mouse or analog joystick.
i think there's a gnu/linux game where you have a ball-bearing that you steer through obstacles by moving the mouse to "tilt" a surface.
the MXC6225 would be completely and utterly inadequate for such a game.
