The ADXL345 Module is a high-performance, low-power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer designed to measure acceleration in the X, Y, and Z axes. It provides accurate data for a wide range of applications, from mobile devices and gaming to industrial instrumentation and medical devices. Hereās a detailed description:
Working Principle:
The ADXL345 module operates using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, which integrates mechanical and electrical components at a microscale. The accelerometer measures the acceleration forces acting on the device by detecting the displacement of a mass within the sensor. These forces are converted into electrical signals, which are then processed to determine the acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes.
