Arduino using MMA7361 3 Axis Accelerometer <br /> <br />MMA7361 3 Axis Accelerometer <br /> <br />This is a rough and ready test using a MMA7361 3 Axis Accelerometer with a Arduino to read and display in the serial window the values. <br /> <br />Press Crtl+Shift+M to display values in the serial display when running the sketch. <br /> <br />Notes this has a SL, Sleep pin that needs to be pulled High, the sleep basically turns off the MMA7361 3 Axis Accelerometer to reduce power use. This may be important if battery's are used to reduce power used. <br /> <br />How to use the MMA7361 accelerometer? <br /> <br />http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-handmade-Hexapod-with-arduino-Hexdrake/step17/How-to-use-the-MMA7361-accelerometer/ <br /> <br />The sensor requires a very low amount of power and has a g-select input which switches the accelerometer between ±1.5g and ±6g measurement ranges. <br />Other features include a sleep mode, signal conditioning, a 1-pole low pass filter, temperature compensation, self test, and 0g-detect which detects linear freefall. Zero-g offset and sensitivity are factory set and require no external devices. <br /> <br />It's specifications are: <br />• Supports 2.2V ~ 3.6V or 5V voltage input. <br />• Two selectable measuring ranges (±1.5g, ±6g) <br />• Breadboard friendly - 0.1" pitch header <br />• Low current consumption: 400 µA <br />• Sleep mode: 3 µA <br />• Low voltage operation: 2.2 V - 3.6 V <br />• High sensitivity (800 mV/g at 1.5g) <br />• Fast turn on time (0.5 ms enable response time) <br />• Self test for freefall detect diagnosis <br />• 0g-Detect for freefall protection <br />• Signal conditioning with low pass filter <br />• Robust design, high shocks survivability <br /> <br />Arduino Leonardo Compatible <br /> <br />This Indiegogo crowd funding campaign started on Jul 12 and closed on August 10, 2013 (11:59pm PT). <br /> <br />http://tinyurl.com/9-ARDUINO <br /> <br />https://vimeo.com/70197613 <br /> <br />https://www.indiegogo.com <br /> <br />http://www.borderlesselectronics.com <br /> <br />Arduino Leonardo Compatible Code:- <br /> <br />File : <br /> <br />MMA7361_3_Axis_Accelerometer.ino <br /> <br />http://1drv.ms/1FQYNyr <br /> <br />.
