What is an accelerometer? |
Product Description
The DE-ACCM6G is an off the shelf 2 axis 6g 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-ACCM5G 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. An onboard regulator keeps the power at a steady 3.3V.
Additional circuitry ensures that the product won't be damaged by
reversed power connections, or voltages above the recommended ratings.
