ADXL345 Triple Axis Accelerometer Board

Description

Description
The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either an 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 applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°.
Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.
The ADXL345 is supplied in a small, thin, 3 mm × 5 mm × 1 mm, 14-lead, plastic package
Applications :
1. Pointing devices.
2. Handsets.
3. Medical Instrumentation.

7. Hard disk drive (HDD) protection.
8. Fitness equipment.
9. defense and aerospace.
Note: This package does not include the Arduino board, you have to buy it separately.
Features :
1. Ultra-Low Power: 40µA in measurement mode, 0.1µA in standby@ 2.5V.
2. Free-Fall Detection.
3. Tap/Double Tap Detection.
4. Flexible interrupt modes mappable to either interrupt pin Measurement ranges selectable via serial command Bandwidth selectable via serial command
5. Wide temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
6. 10,000 g shock survival.
7. Support 5V/3.3V voltage input, onboard RT9161 power chip, lower pressure drop faster than 1117, the faster load speed of response, very suitable for high-noise power supply environment.
8. User-selectable resolution
1. Fixed 10-bit resolution.
2. Full resolution, where resolution increases with G range, up to 13-bit resolution at ±16 g (maintaining 4 mg/LSB scale factor in all G ranges).
