Tutorial 1: MMA7455 Triple Axis I2C Accelerometer Module
Accelerometers are widely used in modern devices such as phones and tablet for orientation sensing. In this article we will learn more about them and their interfacing with microcontrollers.
Each article in this section describes how to interface a specific item like sensors, displays, storage, communication modules etc. with common microcontrollers like AVR series from Atmel or PIC series from Microchip.
The articles are written for novice audience who don't have much technical experience. Thus they are made as easy as possible to follow and understand.
Each article comes with demo application code showing the interface in real action! If possible we also try to show this through videos.
Proteus simulation files are also provided wherever possible so that user can try the demo by simulating it on their PC without having to make any prototype hardware.
Source code of library and application are also provided.
Accelerometers are widely used in modern devices such as phones and tablet for orientation sensing. In this article we will learn more about them and their interfacing with microcontrollers.
In this article, we will discuss the complete process of generating sine wave signals from a digital microcontroller like Atmel's AVR ATmega8 and others which has PWM feature.
