Overview
The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low-power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to
±16 g .The ADXL345 Evaluation board is a simple evaluation board for the ADXL345 Triple Axis Digital
Accelerometer. The evaluation board includes an SD card socket for datalogging, and a USB port for serial
communication with a computer. The device, which is powered from two AA batteries, allows the user to manipulate
the register settings of the ADXL345 using a serial command interface. All of the data read from the accelerometer
can be logged to the microSD card via a FAT32 file system. The evaluation board comes with the Arduino Serial
Bootloader installed; this means the device can be reprogrammed via the USB connector using the Arduino IDE, as
well as by standard programming methods using the 6 pin ISP header.
