Digital Accelerometer ADXL345 Module

Digital Accelerometer ADXL345 Module

Introduction

The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit two’s complement and is accessible through either an SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.
The ADXL345 is well suited to measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables the inclination change measurement by less than 1.0°. And the excellent sensitivity (3.9mg/LSB @2g) provides a high-precision output of up to ±16g.
In this experiment, I2C digital interface is used.
See the following figure for the schematic diagram. There is a 3.3v voltage regulator chip in the circuit, so you can power the module with 5V or 3.3V.
