Be careful to use the 3.3V pin to power the board, as recommended in the datasheet and not the 5V.
The test was successful, however to continue we'll have to read a bit about I2C and the way it uses the port INT, SDA and SCL.
The datasheets of the board : Register Map and Specifications, and more info available at I2Cdevlib
Here are some readings from the Serial :
(It even has a temperature sensor)
Here is a capture of acceleration along x-axis :
First bursts are due to manual oscillations of the breadboard along x-axis, the along y-axis for the second perturbation.
The use of a digital filter seems necessary to clean the data.
