I have an ADXL 335 Accelerometer. I'm checking its output voltage values using a multimeter and I'm consistently getting the z and y axes giving me the same result. How do I trouble shoot this problem?
I have attached a picture of the accelerometer. The male to male wires were used for voltage readings. The 5 coloured header pins are providing data to the MSP that we are using to send information to the laptop. The MSP is powering the Accelerometer.
I have checked the resistance between the z and y pins, there is no visible resistance.

Perhaps the Z and Y axis output pins are shorted together. Measuring resistance between them with the power off might be informative.
