ADXL335 Accelerometer Interfacing with Arduino Uno

Introduction

ADXL335 Accelerometer Module

Accelerometer is an electromechanical device that measures the force of acceleration due to gravity in g unit.

It can be used in applications requiring tilt sensing.

The ADXL335 measures acceleration along X, Y and Z axes and gives analog voltage output proportional to the
acceleration along these 3 axes.

Microcontrollers can process these voltages by converting them to digital signals using ADC.

For more information about ADXL335 accelerometer and how to use it, refer the topic ADXL335
Accelerometer Module in the sensors and modules section.
