What is an accelerometer? |
|
Product Description
The DE-ACCM2G is an off the shelf 2 axis 2g accelerometer
solution with analog outputs. It features integrated op amp buffers for
direct connection to a microcontroller's analog inputs, or for driving
heavier loads.
To maximise usability, it is designed to fit in the DIP-14 form factor,
making the DE-ACCM2G suitable for breadboarding, perfboarding, and
insertion into standard chip sockets. To keep things as simple as
possible, there are only 4 pins - two for power, and two for the X and
Y analog outputs.
Additional circuitry ensures that the product won't be damaged by
reversed power connections, and it has an onboard voltage regulator to
allow operation from a wide range of inputs.
