ADXL345 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer Sensor Module

Accelerometer is used to measure both static acceleration i.e.

• gravitational and dynamic acceleration i.e.
• motion or shock.
• In most of the robotics applications, it is used to measure the tilt of the object.
• The ADXL345 is a low power, MEMS, three-axis accelerometer module with both SPI and I2C interfaces to communicate with your controller like Arduino , Raspberry Pi , PIC , etc.
• It also has user-selectable sensitivity and 10-13bit of resolution.
• This Digital Accelerometer has a voltage regulator on board hence can be connected to both 5V and 3.3V powered controllers.
• Its high-resolution 4mg/LSB also enables it to measure less than 1 ° change in the orientation of the object.
• The ADXL345 Sensor can be used in Robotics applications, measuring vibration in a machine, in the data acquisition system of a vehicle, measuring the motions of a bridge, etc.
• It can also be used to detect taps on an object.
• 3V-6V DC Supply Voltage Measuring range ±16g Onboard LDO Voltage regulator Built-in Voltage level convertor (MOSFET based) Can be interface with 3V3 or 5V Microcontroller.
• All necessary Components are populated.
• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: 40uA in measurement mode, 0.1uA in standby@ 2.5V Free-Fall Detection Digital Output with SPI and I2C interfaces To connect the ADXL345 Module to your controller like Arduino , Raspberry Pi , or PIC , you first need to power the device from either 5V or 3.3V supply.
• Then based on your requirement, you can connect I2C or SPI connections to the respective pins on your controller and you are good to go.
• Package Includes: 1 x ADXL345 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer Sensor Module with Berg Strip.
