Hello ALL,
My project is to detect an angle of about +/- 40 ° relative to an initial position .
I am a newbie in accelerometer domain and the concepts covered in the data sheet are not very clear in my mind
I'll try to ask simple questions have simple answers
1°) Is it possible to do that with MMA8452Q ?
2°) Is there an application note that clearly explains the implementation of my project with the MMA8452Q ?
thank you very much
Sincerely
Jérôme.
Hi,
1) Yes, the MMA8452Q have an embedded orientation detection feature that can be used for a Tilt alarm detection.
2) Yes, there are some documents that can help you with this application:
Additionally, if a +/- 45° angle detection can work for your application, I would like to recommend you to use the MMA8491Q, this accelerometer device as a 45° Tilt Sensor, it offers extreme ease of implementation by using a single line output per axis.
Have a great day,
Jose Reyes
