In this article, we will use an Arduino to get raw sensor data from an accelerometer and convert it into an acceleration value in g’s. Watch the video for this tutorial here:

Oct 2, 2024 · This tutorial shows you how to read from the ADXL3xx series (e.g. ADXL320, ADXL321, ADXL322, ADXL330) accelerometer and receive the values in the serial monitor of the Arduino Software (IDE) or another application that receives data over the serial port.

In this article we will explain in depth what an accelerometer is and how you can integrate it into your Arduino projects. We will describe different modules such as the MPU6050, the ADXL345 and others like them, detailing how to get the most out of them.

In this tutorial, we’re going to explore the ADXL335 accelerometer module in depth. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and most importantly, how to hook it up to an Arduino so you can start building your own motion-sensing projects.

Learn how to use the MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module with the Arduino board. The MPU-6050 IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope sensor. The accelerometer measures the gravitational acceleration, and the gyroscope measures the rotational velocity.

In this entry, we will introduce the use of the accelerometer as a fundamental component in our electronics and Arduino projects. In the next entry, we will expand on the use of gyroscopes and finally present the use of IMUs to calculate orientation, for example, of a vehicle or robot.

Jan 17, 2020 · Here in this ADXL345 Arduino project tutorial we are discussing about ADXL345 Accelerometer to measure the acceleration or change in velocity in x, y, and z-axis.

Apr 4, 2017 · In this article, we are going to interface the GY-521 accelerometer with Arduino. The GY-521 has an InvenSense MPU6050 chip which contains a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro meter. This makes it a 6 DOF IMU (6 degrees of freedom inertial measurement unit).

Oct 27, 2022 · In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect the ADXL345 accelerometer to an Arduino Uno. We also show you how to write a program that makes use of Adafruit’s ADXL345 sensor library. The ADXL345 is an affordable low power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer that supports both the I2C and SPI serial interfaces.

Mar 22, 2024 · For this course, we’ll be using the ADXL335. This uses micro-machined elements to measure acceleration, transforming these movements into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the Arduino. The advantage of this accelerometer is its versatility.
