Detailed Description

• ID: adxl345
• Name: ADXL345 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer
• Other Names: Grove 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer (16g)
• Category: accelerometer
• Manufacturer: seeed
• Connection: i2c

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).

        short[] val;
        float[] accel;

        // Note: Sensor only works at 3.3V on the Intel Edison with Arduino
        // breakout
        upm_adxl345.Adxl345 sensor = new upm_adxl345.Adxl345(0);

        while (true) {
            sensor.update();
            val = sensor.getRawValues();
            accel = sensor.getAcceleration();

            System.out.println("Current scale: " + sensor.getScale());
            System.out.println("Raw Values: X: " + val[0] + " Y: " + val[1] + " Z: " + val[2]);
            System.out.println("Acceleration: X: " + accel[0] + "g Y: " + accel[1] + "g Z: "
                    + accel[2] + "g");

            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Adxl345

(

int

bus

)

Creates an ADXL345 object

Parameters

bus	Number of the used I2C bus

Member Function Documentation

float [] getAcceleration

(

)

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

Returns

float* to a float[3]

short [] getRawValues

(

)

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

Returns

int* to an int[3]

short getScale

(

)

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

Returns

uint with the current scale value

int update

(

)

Updates the acceleration values from the I2C bus

Returns

0 if successful
