Zig zag motion detection using arduino

[bobdxcool]

I wanted to detect ZIG ZAG motion.
Is it possible using accelerometer?

Or is it recommended to use any other sensor??

I want to use arduino uc.

you can implement with a gyroscope.

Actually, I wanted to attach to detect zig zag motion in a car. I wanted to attach an accelerometer to the dash board of the car, and wanted to detect zig zag motion of the car based on the angle changes.

I thought of using this one, which has 3 axis pins.
