The ADXL355 is a high precision, low-power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer designed by Analog Devices Inc. It is capable of measuring acceleration with a high resolution of up to 3.9µg/LSB and low noise performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial monitoring, medical devices, platform stabilization, and inertial navigation.
This circuit features an Arduino UNO microcontroller interfaced with an Adafruit ADXL345 accelerometer for motion detection, powered by two parallel-connected 18650 Li-ion batteries. The accelerometer communicates with the Arduino over I2C, and the system is designed for further code development to utilize the motion sensing capabilities.
