MMA7455L accelerometer breakout board
From DP
Accelerometers measure orientation. The MMA7455L is an inexpensive accelerometer, with adjustable measurement resolution of 2/4/8g.
We used this chip in the USB POV Toy to sync the POV display to the speed of the user's hand motions. It's a challenging chip to solder, so we though a inexpensive breakout board might be useful to other people too.
- 2/4/8g
- force and pulse detection and interrupt
