SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - ADXL335

The SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - ADXL335 is a breakout board for the 3-axis ADXL335 from Analog Devices. This product is the latest in a long line of proven analog sensors, often referred to as the 'holy grail' of accelerometers. The ADXL335 is a MEMS accelerometer offering triple axis measurements with extremely low noise and power consumption, using only 320uA. The sensor has a full sensing range of +/-3g.

The board does not include on-board regulation, thus the provided power should be between 1.8 and 3.6VDC. The product comes fully assembled and tested with external components installed. The included 0.1uF capacitors set the bandwidth of each axis to 50Hz. The dimensions of the board are approximately 1.78 x 1.78 cm.

This accelerometer can be utilized in a variety of applications. It could be used in motion-activated functions, gaming controls, or even in drone stabilization systems. The low noise and power consumption make it ideal for battery-powered applications, while the small size allows it to be easily integrated into compact devices.

The SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - ADXL335 stands out for its low power consumption, small size, and excellent noise performance. With these unique properties, it is a valuable addition to any project requiring precise motion detection and measurement.
