It works great, though my first code attempt at varying a SinOsc produced more zipper than actual sine wave, lol.  I know the zipper cannot be avoided in practice, so I'll work on ways to minimize it and /or make use of it.  Now, to my question:

You should be able to follow the ChucK HID examples, then just dump
out all the messages received as you wave the thing about.  Something
like

Hid hid;
HidMsg msg;
0 => int device;
hid.openJoystick(device);

while (true)
{
  hid => now;
  while (hid.recv(msg))
  {
    ... inspect msg


Hopefully that will give you enough to map the messages to the right
parameters.  That is how I did

though that device doesn't have an accelerometer.
