Accelerometer
Product Code : JA-MLE-9379
The Accelerometer (SKU JA-MLE-9379) is a triple-axis accelerometer breakout board from Adafruit, supplied by JaincoLab for physics, electronics and STEM projects. It gives three analog outputs, one each for the X, Y and Z axes, covering -3 g to +3 g, and it is a 5 V-ready module, so this 3-axis accelerometer module for Arduino and other 5 V microcontrollers can be wired straight into student data-logging and motion experiments.
Specifications
The board provides three ratiometric analog outputs for X, Y and Z: 0 g sits at half of the 3.3 V output (1.65 V), -3 g at 0 V and +3 g at 3.3 V, with full scaling in between, and the module is ready to interface with microcontrollers that use 5 V I/O levels, such as Arduino, ATmega8 and ATmega32.

Applications of the 3-axis accelerometer module
Students connect the three outputs to the analog inputs of a microcontroller to record acceleration along each axis, which turns motion, tilt and vibration into data that can be plotted and analysed in physics and electronics lessons.
- Measuring the acceleration of trolleys, pendulums and falling objects in mechanics practicals
- Tilt and orientation sensing using the static 1 g of gravity on each axis
- Arduino-based data logging and STEM projects
- Introducing sensors, analog-to-digital conversion and calibration in electronics courses
