Description

The ADXL345 module integrates the industry-standard ADXL345 MEMS accelerometer IC onto a breakout board with essential signal conditioning. It measures both static acceleration (for tilt sensing) and dynamic acceleration (for motion or impact detection) across three axes. The onboard RT9161 voltage regulator and logic level shifter ensure stable operation and safe interfacing with 5V logic systems, making it ideal for noisy power environments common in prototyping and embedded applications.

This sensor is characterized by its low power consumption and high-resolution output, which allows for precise measurement of minute angle changes. The digital output eliminates analog signal noise concerns and simplifies wiring to microcontrollers. Its small form factor and standard 2.54mm pin pitch make it suitable for integration into compact designs, from wearable devices to robotics and industrial monitoring systems.

Key Features

  • Low-power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with four programmable measurement ranges (±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g)
  • Onboard 3.3V LDO regulator (RT9161) and logic level translation circuitry
  • Robust digital communication via selectable I2C or SPI serial interfaces
  • High-resolution output (13-bit) enables precise tilt and vibration analysis
  • Wide output data rate (ODR) selection from 10 Hz to 3200 Hz for application optimization
  • Compact breakout board design with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pin headers
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for prototyping and volume integration

Applications

  • Robotics platform stabilization and motion control
  • Industrial equipment vibration monitoring and predictive maintenance
  • Wearable device activity tracking and gesture recognition
  • UAV (drone) flight dynamics and attitude determination
  • Gaming controller tilt and motion sensing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this ADXL345 module?

The module is designed for 3.3V to 5V DC input. The onboard voltage regulator and level shifter allow safe powering from a 5V source (like an Arduino 5V pin) while providing a stable 3.3V supply to the ADXL345 chip and translating its logic levels for compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

How do I select between the I2C and SPI communication interfaces?

The interface is selected via the CS (Chip Select) pin. For I2C mode, the CS pin must be tied high (to VCC). For SPI mode, the CS pin is used as a standard active-low chip select line. The module's default address for I2C communication is 0x53 (with SDO/ALT ADDRESS pin low).

What is the smallest tilt angle this sensor can detect?

Due to its high resolution of 4 mg per LSB (Least Significant Bit) in the ±2g range, the ADXL345 can detect tilt angle changes of less than 1.0 degree. This makes it suitable for applications requiring precise inclination measurement, such as platform leveling or slow-motion gesture control.
