#180256
Hello..I really need help with my project. Im trying to connect ADXL345 with ATMEGA328P through SPI interface and then to send received data from Atmega328P to PC by UART interface.

The ATMEGA328P is sending the accelerometer readings over USB serial, which I am displaying on a serial terminal program. however, i couldnt display any accelerometer readings on the terminal. im not sure where i did wrong.

This is my first time writing my own programming and i really hope if anyone can help me solving my problem. thank you.

i couldnt display any accelerometer readings on the terminal.
This doesn't tell us much. Can you even compile the program?
Does it load successfully?
Can you write and run a program that just prints something, like "Hello, world"?
What actually happens when you try to run the program you posted?

Break the problem into small parts and make sure you understand each one before putting them all together.
Also, please edit your post and place the code within code tags.
