We can interface with it any type of controller but here we shell only tell the user how interface the Arduino board with ADXL 335 accelerometer. How to Interface ADXL 335 Accelerometer with Arduino Boardįor gaining proper result form ADXL 335 accelerometer, a controller is necessary for interfacing purposes. When this capacitance is changed then its analog voltages are changed which is sensed by its interfacing controller. In capacitive sensing accelerometer, when it is moved in any direction then its capacitance is changed. Similary,ADX元35 accelerometer is an analog accelerometer therefore it works on the principle of capacitive sensing. Both have different advantages and disadvantages. Similarly, if we talk about analog accelerometers then they work on two principles such as capacitive sensing and piezo electric sensing.

When force is applied on this mass then it covers some displacement, so acceleration is produced in this mass according to newton second law of motion F= ma which is sensed by its sensor.

Which consists of a small mass which is etched into silicon surface and then integrated into a small circuit. Some works on the principle of MEMS( micro electro mechanical sensor) working. Working Principle of ADXL 335 AccelerometerĬurrently different types of accelerometers are available in market which are used for different purposes. A simple ADXL 335 accelerometer is shown in figure 1 It is easily available in market or online shop. It is mostly used in construction working machines such as drilling ,driving piles and demolition etc., human activities machines such running, walking, dancing and skipping etc. When it is used for acceleration measure purposes then it is interfaced with any type of controller such as microcontroller or Arduino etc. It is low noise and less power consume device. It measures the acceleration in the form of analog inputs, in three dimension direction such as X,Y and Z. If we talk about ADXL 335 accelerometer, then this accelerometer is a device that is used for measuring acceleration of any object. Sometimes both are changed simultaneously.

There are two ways for explaining acceleration of anything first one is change in speed and second one is change in direction. Similarly, velocity is a speed and direction. What is Acceleration and ADXL 335 Accelerometer? Acceleration is a process in which velocity is changed with respect to time and it is a vector quantity.
