Overview
This tutorial will cover how to hook up an Arduino with an MMA845 accelerometer. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to read in acceleration data from the x, y, and z directions. Although the MMA845 accelerometer is compatible with all Arduino types, this tutorial will handle hooking up the accelerometer with the Arduino Uno.
Materials and Prerequisites
- MMA8451 Accelerometer
- Arduino (we used an Arduino Uno, but will work with any kind of Arduino)
- Breadboard
- Two 330 Ω resistors
- Connector cables
- Soldering materials (if the headers have not been soldered already)
Downloading Libraries
The process for hooking up the accelerometer with the Arduino has three main components.
1. Download libraries
Set Up Circuit
2. Solder headers to accelerometer (if this has not been done already) and set up circuit
3. Connect
