class pyupm_adxl345.Adxl345(bus)

Bases: object

API for the ADXL345 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer.

ID: adxl345

Name: 3-axis, +/- 2/4/8/16 g Digital Accelerometer

Other Names: Grove 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer (16g)

Category: accelerometer

Manufacturer: seeed

Connection: i2c

Link:http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data- sheets/ADXL345.pdf ADXL345 is a 3-axis digital accelerometer. (http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/images/2/2c/ADXL345_datasheet.pdf) The sensor has configurable resolutions to measure +/- 2g, +/- 4g, +/- 8g, or +/- 16g. Note: The Grove* version of the sensor is incompatible with and not detected on the I2C bus by the Intel(R) Edison using an Arduino* breakout board at 5V (3V works fine).

C++ includes: adxl345.hpp

getAcceleration()

float * getAcceleration()

there is no need for a ADXL345 object destructor ~Adxl345(); Returns a pointer to a float[3] that contains acceleration (g) forces

float* to a float[3]

getRawValues()

int16_t * getRawValues()

Returns a pointer to an int[3] that contains the raw register values for X, Y, and Z

int* to an int[3]

getScale()

uint8_t getScale()

Returns the scale the accelerometer is currently set up to: 2, 4, 8, or 16

uint with the current scale value

update()

mraa::Result update()

Updates the acceleration values from the I2C bus

0 if successful
