Overview
The MikroE TILT-n-SHAKE Click Board™ is a multifunctional add-on board that is designed to keep away people from tampering with your design. Featuring a combination of tilt AND shake functionalities, the TILT-n-SHAKE Click Board™ includes an MMA8491Q IC sensor that is used as a 3-axis, 45-degree tilt sensor and can also be configured as a 3-axis digital accelerometer. The user is required to keep the Enable pin (EN) pulled to logic level high to use it as an accelerometer.
Featuring a 14-bit digital output and 8g full-scale range, this MEMS chip has a 1 mg/LSB sensitivity, and a fast response time of around 700 microseconds. TILT-n-SHAKE Click Board™ communicates with the target board MCU through MikroBUS I2C interface, using SCL, SDA pins. As a tilt sensor, the MMA8491Q chip has three detection outputs, one for each axis: Xout, Yout and Zout. For specific applications, you may need only one or two dimensions, not all three.
This Click Board™ is intended to use a 3.3V power supply. It is ideal for tamper detection and anti-theft detection systems.
The TILT-n-SHAKE Click Board™ carries Freescale's MMA8491Q IC. It's a multifunctional 3-axis digital accelerometer that can also be configured as a 45-degree Tilt sensor. To use it as an accelerometer, keep the EN pin pulled to logic level high. The acceleration data will be outputted to the target MCU through mikroBUS™ I2C pins (SCL, SDA). The output time is about 700 microseconds, with a 14-bit resolution, ±8 full-scale range and 1 mg/LSB sensitivity. As a Tilt sensor, the click board needs only one output pin — INT (interrupt). Three onboard LEDs will also signal the tilt orientation. The TILT-n-SHAKE Click Board™ is designed to use a 3.3V power supply only.
IC Module: MMA8491Q IC
The 3-axis multifunction digital accelerometer comes in a small package. It can be used in two accelerometer configurations, either as a 45
