- Triple Axis Accelerometer - ADXL335
The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing
applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the CX, CY, and CZ capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins. Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application.
Breakout board listed below.
- 1.8V- 3.6V single-supply operation
- Integrated X, Y, and Z axis accelerometer on a single chip
- X and Y axis has a 0.5Hz to 1600Hz bandwidth
- Z axis has a 0.5Hz to 550Hz bandwidth
- Hermetically sealed for temp and humidity resistance
- 10,000 g shock tolerant
- LFCSP_LQ Package
- 4 x 4 x 1.45mm

Control LEDs based on your movement using an accelerometer! Make your LEDs breathe by fading in and out when laying on the floor, turn off the LEDs when moving to your side, or make the LEDs blink in a headstand!
Core Skill: Soldering
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.
See all skill levels
Core Skill: Programming
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for you. You will be required to have a fundamental knowledge of programming and be required to provide your own code. You may need to modify existing libraries or code to work with your specific hardware. Sensor and hardware interfaces will be SPI or I2C.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

Good, relatively cheap accelerometer
Plenty of documentation and support for this product. I am very pleased to have purchased this item for my project.
Not quite
I tried getting data from ADXL335 via an XBee link, and directly on an Arduino. Both ways the range of values was uselessly small, and not what I expected from a motion detector (d2x/dt2). I did consult XBee data sheet, XBee guide, and multiple on-line examples of code for Arduino, XBee, and ADXL335. I humbly submit that I probably either had improper expectations, or just did not get how to engineer this thing correctly.
hey i just wanted to know that by using the ADXL335, can i measure at what distance a device is at from the ground during a freefall? pls explain...
this is a nice component, but why is it listed under gyros? it is an accelerometer, is it not?
There are multiple pins for Vcc and COM; does that mean all the pins must be connected or just one of them?
Accelerometer, gyroscope and Magnetometer all on one chip? Soon it will be true!

The ADIS16400 is not a single chip - it is an IMU with an aluminum enclosure and a ribbon cable connector.
I smell a breakout board coming soon...
Uh, I don't think this is correct:
Whoa. Major typo. Thanks Wayne!
