Arduinonunchuck

I was able to get an Arduino board to read in data from a wii nunchuck. You can read the joystick, buttons and accelerometer data. Using the nunchuck is even cheaper than buying an acceleromter by itself.

    I see plenty of 3 axis accelerometers on digikey for under $20.

    The accelerometer in the nunchuck is the ADXL330. On a breakout board it sells for $34.95 on
    sparkfun. The ADXL330 chip by itself sells for $11.58 on digikey.
