The ADXL345 Triple Axis Accelerometer Module is a high quality digital motion sensor capable of measuring acceleration in three directions X, Y, and Z. Based on the well known ADXL345 chip from Analog Devices, this module supports both I2C and SPI communication and is designed for easy integration with modern microcontrollers and single board computers.
The breakout board includes an onboard 3.3V voltage regulator and logic level shifting, allowing safe operation with both 3.3V and 5V systems. With the integrated STEMMA QT Qwiic connectors, the module supports plug and play, solder free connections for fast prototyping.
This is a generic, no brand module and is fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, and other I2C or SPI capable platforms.
