Accelerometer ADXL345 3-Axis Digital Gravity Sensor Module

The ADXL345 is a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement up to ±16 g. It is compact, thin, and low-power. Digital output data is 16-bit two’s complement and accessible via SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C interface. The ADXL345 is ideal for measuring static gravity acceleration (tilt-sensing) as well as dynamic acceleration caused by motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) allows detection of inclination changes of less than 1°.
