ADXL345 Datalogger / Development Board

The ADXL345 Development Board is an easy-to-use tool, pre-configured as a datalogger that can be used to gather data for refining algorithms, tuning thresholds, and generally familiarising oneself with accelerometer data. Powered by two AAA batteries, the board is completely untethered and integrates seamlessly into portable applications. Logged data is stored on a MicroSD memory card, providing essentially unlimited memory capacity and operating system versatility. Data is stored in a text (.txt) file, so no software installation is required to operate the board or read data. A 2GB MicroSD card and a USB MicroSD card reader are provided with the board.

Additionally, the board is fully programmable, providing a hardware platform on which firmware can be tested in parallel with development of application hardware. Communications and processing are performed by an ARM7-based ADuC7024 micro-controller, and firmware is written in C. A programming cable is provided with the board, and a development environment and header files are supplied on analog.com. Schematics and layout can be found under the Supporting Documentation tab and can be used freely in your application. Note that this board is not configured to display real-time data.
