## Description

Filling out our accelerometer offerings, we now have the really lovely digital ADXL345 from Analog Devices, a triple-axis accelerometer with digital I2C and SPI interface breakout. Added on-board is a 3.3V regulator and logic-level shifting circuitry, making it a perfect choice for interfacing with any 3V or 5V microcontroller such as the Arduino.

The sensor has three axes of measurements, X Y Z, and pins that can be used either as I2C or SPI digital interfacing. You can set the sensitivity level to either +-2g, +-4g, +-8g or +-16g. The lower range gives more resolution for slow movements, the higher range is good for high-speed tracking. The ADXL345 is the latest and greatest from Analog Devices, known for its exceptional quality MEMS devices.

Added on-board is a 3.3V regulator and logic-level shifting circuitry, making it a perfect choice for interfacing with any 3V or 5V microcontroller or computers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. We've got both [Arduino (C/C++) ](https://learn.adafruit.com/adxl345-digital-accelerometer)and [CircuitPython (Python 3) libraries](https://learn.adafruit.com/adxl345-digital-accelerometer/python-and-circuitpython) available so you can use it with any microcontroller like[ Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-uno-r3.html) or with [Raspberry Pi or other Linux computers](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html) thanks to Blinka (our CircuitPython library support helper).

As if that weren't enough, also added are PiicoDev/qwiic/Stemma QT connectors for the I2C bus **so you don't even need to solder.** Just wire up to your favourite micro with a plug-and-play cable to get accelerometer data ASAP. For a no-solder experience, just wire up to your favorite micro using [PiicoDev cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1309)[.](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=stemma%20qt%20cable)

Each order comes with a fully tested and assembled breakout and some header for soldering to a PCB or breadboard. Comes with 0.1" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard. Four 2.5mm (0.1") mounting holes for easy attachment. You'll be up and running in under 5 minutes!
