#Arduino Dumbbell Accelerometer
##Overview This code will run on an Arduino Micro (Leonardo) with a connected ADXL45 accelerometer
The accelerometer will be attached to the dumbbell and sense motion in many directions and compute it into distinct motions and then abstract those into reps. Each rep must also be categorized by type of lifting movement.
The goal is to make a multiplayer tower-defense game that is compelling enough to encourage more exersice.

##Specifics ###Games Stronghold is an exercise game. 1 to 2 players lift weights attached with sensors that control the game. The game ends when skeletons destroy your 'Stronghold' by reaching your wall and exploding. Curls repair the castle and lateral raises shoot arrows at skeletons.
xyz_out_micro.ino is another mod of the example code that instead outputs the forces (g) in each direction (x, y, and z) to the serial port every 50 ms.
accelerometer_make_sample.py is a real-time visualization of x, y, and z acceleration in Gs. Uses Matplotlib to take parsed serial output and graph it
