Matrix - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer

查看中文

1 Introduction

3-Axis Digital Accelerometer

• This module measures the static acceleration of gravity in three axis x, y and z resulting from motion or shock.
• Its digital interface is IIC or SPI.
• It is integrated with an ADXL345 chip with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g.
• The module is powered by 5V and converts 5V to 3.3V to ADXL345.

2 Features

3 General Description

• The ADXL345 is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is acces-sible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.
• The ADXL345 is well suited for mobile device applications. It measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing appli-cations, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (3.9 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°.
• The ADXL345 conforms to the UM1024 I2C Specification. It supports standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) data transfer modes. If the CS is tied high it will be in the I2C mode. If the CS or ALT ADDRESS pin is floating or unconnected the state will be unknown.
• The module's I2C connection diagram is as follows:

4 Download Matrix Source Code

Matrix family members' code samples are open source which are maintained at: git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
In this warehouse each branch represents an ARM board that this matrix member can work with

• matrix-nanopi includes code samples for Matrix members that can work with the NanoPi;
• matrix-tiny4412 includes code samples for Matrix members that can work with the Tiny4412;
• matrix-raspberrypi includes code samples for Matrix members that can work with the RaspberryPi;

Here are the steps for installing git on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone Matrix code warehouse

$ git clone git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is a success a matrix directory will be generated, which will contain all available Matrix code samples.

5.3 Compile Test Program

Please login the Matrix git and enter the matrix-nanopi branch

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout matrix-nanopi

Compile the Matrix code

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

Note: please make sure to install the cross compiler "arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi-Debian.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. Applications are under the "install/usr/bin" directory. The test program for the "Matrix-3_Axis_Digital_Accelerometer" module is "matrix-3_axis_digital_accelerometer".

5.4 Run Test Program

Please copy the library files and test program to the NanoPi

$ cp install/usr/bin/* nanopi_rootfs/usr/bin/
$ cp install/lib/* nanopi_rootfs/lib/ -d

Power on the NanoPi and run the following command in Debian's terminal
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to a NanoPi.

$ matrix-3_axis_digital_accelerometer

5.5 Code Sample

int main(int argc, char ** argv) 
{
    char position[BUF_SIZE];
    memset(position, 0, BUF_SIZE);
 
    if (adxl34xRead(position) > 0) {
        printf("Get position: %s", position);
    } else {
        printf("Fail to get position\n");        
    }
    return 0;
}

6 Connect to Tiny4412

6.1 Preparations

Please refer to the Tiny4412's user's manual to install a UbuntuCore on the Tiny4412 and install an appropriate cross compiler on a PC.
Note: only the Tiny4412SDK-1506 carrier board can work with this module.
