ADXL345 Accelerometer (How Does it works?)

Hi guys,

I just want to ask if how does it works,
does the accelerometer gives the arduino voltages to read or binary data?
what does the accelerometer gives when it is being held 180 degrees to the left, what are the variable that is being received by the arduino..

ex. temperature sensor, when there is high heat, the resistance goes down so the arduino reads high voltages. or the other way around.
I needed the answer for my report.

Read the datasheet: http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/ADXL345.pdf

"The ADXL345 is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface."

Now I understand how it works.. thank you. :slight_smile:
