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.

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)
