#36, C1: Three-Axis Accelerometer
Function: Three-axis accelerometer (shock sensor)
Form factor: C1
Special needs: Tibbit #00-3
Power requirements: 5V/2mA
Details
Tibbit #36 is based on the ADXL312 accelerometer IC with an I²C interface. The sensor is implemented as a C1 device.
The module measures acceleration in the ±12G range, simultaneously in three axes and with 2.9mG resolution.
This C1 device requires Tibbit #00-3 to be installed in the neighboring "M" Tibbit socket. #00-3 provides two direct lines for I²C communications, as well as the ground and +5V power for the ADXL312 IC.
Sample Project
The use of Tibbit #36 is illustrated by a Tibbo BASIC test project. You can find it here: https://github.com/tibbotech/CA-Test-Tibbit-36.
