Sensors
This accelerometer has an auto-test capability that allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application.
Its operational temperature range is between -40ºC and +85ºC.
The accelerometer communicates with the microcontroller through the I2C interface. The pins that are used for this task are the
SCL pin and the SDA pin, as well as another INT pin to generate the interruptions.
The accelerometer has 4 types of event which can generate an interrupt: free fall, inertial wake up, 6D movement and 6D
position.
These thresholds and times are set in the WaspACC.h file.
To show the ease of programming, an extract of code about how to get the accelerometer values is included below:
{
ACC.ON();
ACC.getX();
ACC.getY();
ACC.getZ();
}
Some figures with possible uses of the accelerometer are shown below:
