The Accel 24 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board with an acceleration sensor. This board features the MXC6655XA, a 12-bit three-axis accelerometer from MEMSIC. It allows selectable full-scale acceleration measurements in ranges of ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g in three axes with a compatible I2C serial interface with 400KHz fast mode operation. Alongside low offset and temperature signal with high accuracy, the MXC6655XA also detects six orientation positions, X/Y shake, and shake directions with an appropriate interrupt signal for these states. This Click board™ is suitable for a wide range of information appliances, consumer electronics, household safety applications, and many more.
The Accel 24 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK-compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
How Does The Accel 24 Click Board™ Work?
The Accel 24 Click Board™ is based on the MXC6655XA, a highly reliable digital triaxial acceleration from MEMSIC. The MXC6655XA is highly configurable with a programmable acceleration range of ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g based on MEMSIC's proprietary thermal technology built with a 0.18μm standard CMOS process. It contains no moving sensor parts, eliminating field reliability and repeatability issues; there is no measurable resonance (immunity to vibration), no stiction, and no detectable hysteresis.
The MXC6655XA also eliminates the "click" sounds typically heard in ball-based orientation sensors. The shock survival of this MEMS sensing structure is greater than 200,000g. This sensor provides X/Y/Z axis acceleration signals with a low 0g offset and temperature signals with high accuracy. In addition, it also detects six orientation positions, X/Y shake, and shakes directions.
The Accel 24 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings capable of operating in a standard or fast mode of operation. The acceleration signal is provided in 12-bit output resolution. In addition to communication pins, this board also possesses an additional interrupt pin, routed to the INT pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, for orientation and X/Y shake detections. The MXC6655XA allows users to be placed in a Power-Down mode enabled through the I2C interface.
The Accel 24 Click Board™can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Accel 24 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the Accel 24 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
accel24_get_int_pinThis function returns the INT pin logic state. -
accel24_read_dataThis function checks the data ready bit, clears it, and then reads the accel (X, Y, Z) and temperature measurements. -
accel24_set_full_scale_rangeThis function sets the full scale range resolution.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the Accel 24 Click Board™ reading and displaying accel data (X, Y, and Z axis) as well as temperature measurements on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
accel24_data_t meas_data;
// Wait for data ready indication
while ( accel24_get_int_pin ( &accel24 ) );
if ( ACCEL24_OK == accel24_read_data ( &accel24, &meas_data ) )
{
log_printf( &logger, " X: %.3f grn", meas_data.x );
log_printf( &logger, " Y: %.3f grn", meas_data.y );
log_printf( &logger, " Z: %.3f grn", meas_data.z );
log_printf( &logger, " Temperature: %.2f degCrn", meas_data.temperature );
}
Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The Accel 24 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
