Matrix - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer
From FriendlyELEC WiKi
Contents
1 Introduction
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
- SPI/I2C,3.3V
- 13-bit,up to +-16g
- 2.54mm spacing pin interface
3 How To
3.1 Connection
- Connect Tiny4412 SDK (1506)
- GND: Ground
- VCC: 5V
- INT2:NC, empty pin
- INT1: NC, empty pin
- CS: 5V
- SCL: I2C SCL
