Phidget Accelerometer
- Acceleration in three axes
- Measuring range of up to ±8 g (78.5 m/s²)
Description
The PhidgetAccelerometer measures acceleration in three axes (x, y, z) over a range of up to ±8 g (78.5 m/s²). Typical applications include detecting the movement of an object – such as a person or a robotic vehicle – determining the direction and strength of acceleration, detecting vibration, and use as a tilt sensor.
Each reading carries an accurate timestamp, which makes plotting and advanced calculations easier. The device connects either directly via USB cable or through a VINT Hub using a Phidget cable.
Programming is handled through the Phidget22 library and is supported on common operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) as well as numerous programming languages (C, C#, Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift and more).
