Electronic – Problem in reading accelerometer axis (ATMEGA328P + ADXL345)

accelerometeratmegaavr

I really need help with my project. I'm trying to connect ADXL345 with ATMEGA328P through SPI interface to send received data from Atmega328P to PC via UART interface.

The ATMEGA328P is sending the accelerometer readings over USB serial, which I am displaying on a serial terminal program. However, I couldn't display any accelerometer readings on the terminal. I'm not sure where I did wrong.

This is my first time writing my own program and I really hope anyone can help me solve the problem.

Connections:

ADXL345                 ATMEGA328P
GND---------------------GND
VCC---------------------5V
CS----------------------SS (PB2)
SDO---------------------MISO(PB4)
SDA---------------------MOSI(PB3)
SCL---------------------SCK(PB5)

I just finished a blog post recently on ADXL345 + Arduino Uno. You could find it at
