Accelerometer Sensor Module

Description

A 3-axis acceleration sensor. It utilizes the Analog Device ADXL345 providing a high-resolution measurement of up to +/- 16 g. The accelerometer measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resolution from motion or shock. Its high resolution enables measurement of inclination changes of less than 1.0°. The module uses the I2C interface for data communication. The I2C lines are packaged with the power and ground lines into a modular connector, which allows easy plug and play operation. There are two connectors on the module to enable daisy chaining of multiple I2C devices together. The Accelerometer Sensor Module combined with the Gyroscope Sensor Module can deliver a complete 6-axis sensor for full motion detection.
