THE TILT SENSOR IS FINALLY WORKING!! The new code prints out logical values for the x and y axes that change in a predictable and understandable manner. Unlike the raw data, this is useable and finally makes sense to me.
I only need to worry about two axes now (x and y) and can disregard z, since the new code doesn't recognize any motion in the z direction. My short-term goal is have one strand of LEDs respond to tilt in the x direction and light up a different color depending on if the motion is in the negative or positive direction. I will then code for another strand of lights to respond for the y axis. To do this, I am transferring my Neopixel code from the raw-tilt-sensor-and-Neopixel-strand-combined code. I've successfully compiled the sketch for just the x-direction, but the LEDs aren't reacting. However, I feel optimistic that this isn't a huge problem to solve. I have to go to other appointments now but will return for an hour or so tonight to try to finish this up before I leave for break.
