Description
3-Axis Digital Accelerometer is the key part in projects like orientation detection, gesture detection and Motion detection. This 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer(± 1.5 g) is based on Freescale's low power consumption module, MMA7660FC. It features up to 10, 000g high shock survivability and configurable Samples per Second rate. For generous applications that don't require too large measurement range, this is a great choice because it's durable, energy saving and cost-efficient.
What are Accelerometers?
Accelerometers are electromechanical devices that measure acceleration, the rate of change in velocity of an object. It uses axis-based motion sensing, as a way of detection. In this blog, Ill be recommending the ADXL335 and ADXL356C accelerometers with a quick assessment of each through my buying guide.
