  Chronos wristwach 3D model interaction
  Author: Jason Webb
  Website: http://cs.unk.edu/~webb
 
  PURPOSE ------------------------------------------------------- 
    To establish and maintain a serial connection 
    to an ez430 Chronos wristwatch, then use that connection 
    to obtain real-time 3D accelerometer data. This accelerometer 
    data is then used to rotate a 3D model placed on the scene.
    
  TODO ----------------------------------------------------------
    1. Smooth out values by sampling n values and averaging
    2. Create a nice, high-resolution spherical model of the Earth
    
  USAGE NOTES ---------------------------------------------------
    To run this sketch, you need an eZ430 Chronos Wireless 
    Development Kit ( http://tinyurl.com/yl9z66v )
 
    1. Plug in the USB dongle that comes in the kit
    2. Install eZ430 driver
    3. Start your watch in ACC mode
    4. Run this sketch
    
    A list of key commands can be found at the end of this
    sketch, or hit ~ while the sketch is running.
    
  TROUBLESHOOTING ------------------------------------------------
    Q: 3D cube is not rotating
    A: Sometimes the packets coming in have a certain
       amount of byte offset. Hit O while the sketch is
       running to skip over 3 bytes and correct the
       offset. Keep hitting O until it works!
