Description: BMA220 3-axis I2C digital accelerator - DFRobot module
Sensor for measuring acceleration in three axes. It is characterized by small size, low energy consumption and simple use. It communicates via the I2C bus.
For communication with the central unit, the popular I2C bus (TWI) is used. The module has, necessary for the correct operation of the system, passive elements. Leads are popular goldpin connectors (in the set for self-soldering), for connecting the sensor via wires or for connecting directly to breadboard.
The product is compatible with Arduino Manufacturer prepared a libraryanduser's guidefor users ofArduino. |
Since the maximum voltage, with which the system works is 3.6 V, to work with Arduinoneeded is a voltage converter. The exceptions are the modules operating with voltages of 3.3 V, for example,Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 3.3 V/8 MHz.
Pins
The sensor has five pins for mounting the goldpin connectors - 2.54 mm pitch (not included).
