Product description: ADXL375 - 3-axis accelerometer High G +-200g - I2C / SPI - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 5374
Module equipped with ADXL375 chip - 3-axis High G accelerometer. Manufactured by Adafruit it allows to measure accelerations in three axes (X, Y, Z) in the range of ± 200g. It has a wake-up function and features high overload resistance. For communication purposes it uses I2C interface with address 0x53 or SPI. Furthermore, the board is equipped with STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector, which is an alternative to connections using standard solder fields.

What is accelerometer?
What is an accelerometer? What is it used for?
Accelerometer is a sensor that allows to determine the acceleration of the body (in three axes), interchangeably the term accelerometer is used. An accelerometer is a transducer that measures linear acceleration, that is, it measures its own motion. Wondering where an accelerometer is used? The answer is simple - you can even find one in your smartphone. You can learn more about accelerometer in the article available on our blog - welcome!
STEMMA QT / QWIIC standard
Three axis accelerometer from Adafruit is equipped with two STEMMA QT / QWIIC connectors, placed on the edge of the board. This standard allows quick connection to development boards and a wide range of other sensors using a suitable cable, without the need for soldering.
