Crowtail – 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer

Crowtail – 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer with specific Crowtail interface, It’s base on an advanced 3-axis IC ADXL345. This is a high resolution digital accelerometer providing you at max 3.9mg/LSB resolution and large ±16g measurement range. Have no worry to implement it into your free-fall detection project, cause it’s robust enough to survive up to 10,000g shock. Meanwhile, it’s agile enough to detect single and double taps. It’s ideal for motion detection, gesture detection as well as robotics. This digital 3-axis accelerometer has excellent EMI protection.
Its variable output makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:

• 1. HDD shock protection
• 2. Vibration sensor
• 3. Game controller input
• 4. Robotics
• 5. Smart vehicles
• 6. Anywhere you need to obtain motion-sensing and orientation information.
• 7. The excellent sensitivity provide high-precision output up to ±16g.
