Accel 15 Click Board
Accel 15 Click Board
Key Features:
- Ultra-low power consumption, high performance, programmable functionality, on-chip interrupt features, adjustable bandwidth, optimized for industrial applications, and more
- Based on the BMA490L - high-performance 16-bit digital triaxial longevity acceleration sensor with extended availability of up to ten years from Bosch Sensortech
- Can be used for home appliances, power tools, and other industrial products whose lifetime is essential.
- mikroBUS: I2C and SPI Interfaces
The Accel 15 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a longevity acceleration sensor. This board features the BMA490L, a high-performance 16-bit digital triaxial acceleration sensor with extended availability of up to ten years from Bosch Sensortech. It allows selectable full-scale acceleration measurements in ranges of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g in three axes with a configurable host interface that supports both I2C and SPI serial communication and with intelligent on-chip motion-triggered interrupt features. Intelligent signal processing and evaluation in the accelerometer ASIC enables advanced gesture recognition for numerous industrial IoT applications where low power consumption is vital. This Click Board™ is suitable for home appliances, power tools, and other industrial products whose lifetime is essential.
The Accel 15 Click 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.
Software Support
We provide a library for the Accel 15 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 Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on the mikroE GitHub account.
Library Description
This library contains an API for the Accel 15 Click Board™ driver.
Key Functions

- Config Object Initialization functionaccel15_init
- Initialization function.accel15_default_cfg
- Click the Default Configuration function.
Example Description
This library contains an API for the Accel 15 Click Board™ driver. The library initializes and defines the I2C or SPI bus drivers to write and read data from registers. The library also includes a function for reading X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis data.
The application is composed of three sections :
void application_task ( void ) { if ( accel15_get_int_1( &accel15 ) == ACCEL15_DRDY ) { accel15_get_axis_data( &accel15, &axis ); log_printf( &logger, "tX : %5d rn", axis.x ); log_printf( &logger, "tY : %5d rn", axis.y ); log_printf( &logger, "tZ : %5d rn", axis.z ); log_printf( &logger, "-------------------------rn" ); Delay_ms( 1000 ); } }
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on mikroE GitHub account.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Accel15
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, 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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
mikroSDK
the Accel 15 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.
