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).

    int16_t *raw;
    float *acc;

    // Note: Sensor only works at 3.3V on the Intel Edison with Arduino breakout
    upm::Adxl345* accel = new upm::Adxl345(0);

    while(true){
        accel->update(); // Update the data
        raw = accel->getRawValues(); // Read raw sensor data
        acc = accel->getAcceleration(); // Read acceleration (g)
        fprintf(stdout, "Current scale: 0x%2xg\n", accel->getScale());
        fprintf(stdout, "Raw: %6d %6d %6d\n", raw[0], raw[1], raw[2]);
        fprintf(stdout, "AccX: %5.2f g\n", acc[0]);
        fprintf(stdout, "AccY: %5.2f g\n", acc[1]);
        fprintf(stdout, "AccZ: %5.2f g\n", acc[2]);
        sleep(1);
    }

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]

int16_t * 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]

uint8_t getScale

(

)

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

Returns

uint with the current scale value

mraa::Result update

(

void

)

Updates the acceleration values from the I2C bus

Returns

0 if successful
