Made a relay circuit to allow Arduino to control the big boi aka the ac motor aka my one true love

Wrote code to interpret accelerometer data. Actually let's not kid ourselves, I just took most of it from sparkfun

Hooked up accelerometer to the Arduino. I posted a picture of the wiring just to show everyone what happens when a meche tries to make a circuit (it could also just be because of woeful organizational skills but I'm just gonna stay in denial about that for now)

Set up second circuit to allow the Arduino to control the relays that will change the direction of the motors rotation

Life is meaningless and nothing happens for a reason.
