Acceleration Sensor Module
Instruction Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

Dear customer,
Thank you very much for choosing our product. In the following, we will show you what you need to consider during commissioning and use.
Should you unexpectedly encounter problems during use, please do not hesitate to contact us.

COMMISSIONING WITH THE RASPBERRY PI

Wiring:

Installation:
To be able to use the ADC, you have to enable I2C.
Enter the following command: sudo raspi-config
Now navigate to the point Interfacing Options -> I2C and enable the I2C interface.|
Now create a file with the extension “.py” and copy the code example into it.
Then execute this file with the console command shown below: sudo python file- name.py
You should now see the values of the three axes as a console output.

Code example:

Distributed with a free-will license.

Use it any way you want, profit or free, provided it fits in the licenses of

its

associated works.

import smbus
import time

Get I2C bus

bus = smbus.SMBus(1)

MMA8452Q address, 0x1D(28)

Select Control register, 0x2A(42)

0x00(00) StandBy mode

bus.write_byte_data(0x1D, 0x2A, 0x00)

MMA8452Q address, 0x1D(28)

Select Control register, 0x2A(42)

0x01(01) Active mode

bus.write_byte_data(0x1D, 0x2A, 0x01)

MMA8452Q address, 0x1D(28)

Select Configuration register, 0x0E(14)

0x00(00) Set range to +/- 2g

bus.write_byte_data(0x1D, 0x0E, 0x00)
time.sleep(0.5)

MMA8452Q address, 0x1D(28)

Read data back from 0x00(0), 7 bytes

Status register, X-Axis MSB, X-Axis LSB, Y-Axis MSB, Y-Axis LSB, Z-Axis MSB,

Z-Axis LSB
data = bus.read_i2c_block_data(0x1D, 0x00, 7)

Convert the data

xAccl = (data[1] 256 + data[2]) / 16
if xAccl > 2047 :
xAccl -= 4096
yAccl = (data[3] 256 + data[4]) / 16
if yAccl > 2047 :
yAccl -= 4096
zAccl = (data[5] * 256 + data[6]) / 16
if zAccl > 2047 :
zAccl -= 4096

Output data to screen

print “Acceleration in X-Axis : %d” %xAccl
print “Acceleration in Y-Axis : %d” %yAccl
print “Acceleration in Z-Axis : %d” %zAccl

COMMISSIONING WITH THE ARDUINO

Wiring:

To use the sensor with the Arduino, you must first install a library.
Go to Tools - > Manage libraries...

Now enter mma8452q in the search box above and install the library SparkFun MMA8452Q Accelerometer.

You can now select one of the example files under File -> Examples -> SparkFun MMA8452Q Accelerometer and upload it to your Arduino.
Go to Tools and make sure you selected the correct board and port.
