Product description: Gravity - H3LIS200DL - 3-axis accelerometer - I2C - DFRobot SEN0412
Gravity module in the form of an accelerometer that allows you to measure linear acceleration in three axes. It has an embedded H3LIS200DL chip and is powered by a voltage range from 3.3 V to 5 V. In addition, the sensor has a selectable measurement scale of ± 100 g or ± 200 g. Capable of measuring acceleration with output data rates from 0.5 Hz to 1 kHz.
Suggested application
- Shock detection and recording
- Free fall detection
- Vehicle impact test
Connecting accelerometer with Gravity connector to I/O Expansion Shield V7 board - which is Arduino derivative.
Pinout and wiring diagram
Module is equipped with connector compliant with Gravity standard. Thanks to this, there's no need to solder additional connectors, and whole connection process is much faster and more convenient.
- VCC/+ - power pin in 5 V / 3.3 V
- GND/- - chip mask
- SCL/C - I2C communication interface clock line
- SDA/D - I2C communication interface data line
Set contents
- Gravity - H3LIS200DL - 3-axis accelerometer - I2C - from DFRobot
- Gravity 4-pin I2C/UART connection cable - 1 pc.
Product compatible with Adruino, Raspberry and micro:bit from BBC
There is a detailed user guide available on the manufacturer's website, which makes getting started with the module much easier. There are also libraries for various development environments available for download on GitHub.
What is accelerometer? What is it used for?
Accelerometer is a sensor allowing to determine selected body parameters. It measures linearacceleration (in three axes), so the term accelerometer is used interchangeably. You can learn more about accelerometer in the article available on our blog - welcome!
