Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - MMA7260Q
This is a breakout board for Freescale’s triple-axis MMA7260QT accelerometer. With a low power shut-down mode, high sensitivity output with selectable ranges (±1.5, 2, 4, and 6g), this was one of the very first sensors to market with three accelerometers built onto a single IC. Board comes fully assembled and tested with external filters installed.
The MMA7260QT is a 3.3V part and outputs an analog voltage for each of the three outputs. This voltage is in ratio to the measured acceleration and to the supply voltage (ratiometric).
I connected the board to a Freetronics prototype shield (not mandatory).
The ToString() method for TriAx(Class) returns the following values (G-Force (9.8 m/s/s)) when the Z-Axis is pointing downwards.
