How Does The Accel 30 Click Board™ Work?
The Accel 30 Click Board™ is based on the MC3635, a highly reliable digital triaxial acceleration sensor from MEMSIC. The MC3635 is highly configurable with a programmable acceleration range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±12g, or ±16g, and an internal sample rate from 14 to 1300 samples/second. It contains a 12-bit 32-sample FIFO with a programmable watermark and can be put into several operational modes, such as Sleep/Standby/Sniff/Swake/Cwake/Trig, depending upon the desired sensing application. In addition to all these features, the MC3635 is characterized by excellent temperature stability, low noise, and low power consumption.
The Accel 30 Click Board™ allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces at a maximum frequency of 1MHz for I2C and 8MHz for SPI communication. Selection is made by positioning SMD jumpers marked COMM SEL to the appropriate position. All jumpers must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. When the I2C interface is selected, the MC3635 allows the choice of its I2C slave address, using the ADDR SEL SMD jumper set to an appropriate position marked 0 and 1. In addition to communication pins, this board also possesses an additional interrupt pin, routed to the INT pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, to signal MCU that an event, such as specific tap or sample acquisition conditions, has happened.
The Accel 30 Click Board™ can only be operated 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.
