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

• I2C, 3.3V
• 13-bit, up to +-16g
• 2.54mm spacing pin interface
• PCB dimension(mm): 16 x 32

• Pin Description:
  

3 Basic Device Operation

• 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

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• The matrix-nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
• The matrix-nanopi2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
• The matrix-tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412;
• The matrix-raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi;

Please follow the steps below to get the source code:
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code from GitHub

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

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

5 Connect to NanoPi 2

5.1 Hardware Connection

Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-3_Axis_Digital_Accelerometer to the NanoPi 2:

Connection Details:

5.2 Compile Test Program

Please login the matrix hub and enter the nanopi2 branch

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi2

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-4.9.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi 2.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. The test program is under the "install/usr/bin" directory. The modules are under the "modules" directory.

5.3 Run Test Program

Please insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian to a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
We assume the rootfs is mounted to /media/rootfs then please run the following commands to copy the module, library and test program to the card

$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r
$ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d
$ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/

Insert this TF card to your NanoPi 2, power on and run the following commands to load the driver.

$ cd /modules
$ insmod adxl34x.ko
$ insmod adxl34x-i2c.ko

Start the matrix-accelerometer program.

$ matrix-accelerometer

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to a NanoPi 2.
Here is what you should expect:

5.4 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;
}
