Here I print a direction vector (ignoring Z).
It goes from 0 to 100 (instead of 0.0 to 1.0) to avoid floating point.
It updates rather fast.

If I only care about this vector I think I'll use a thread to keep
reading from the accels.
I tried something (very fast, not polished) in Python but i feel the
program lags reading the accels.

I think I'll move to C.
