Hi, I am currently use Arduino Mega 2560 board and accelerometer ADXL345(https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/dfrobot/SEN0032/1738-1067-ND/6588489).
I want to connect them in SPI communication method. I have tried with 4 wire connection as shown in ADXL345 Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn document.
The pins are connected according to the following way.
arduino pin ADXLpin
GND GND
3.3v VCC
19 CS
20 SDA
21 SCL
22 SDO
I have used the code from SparkFun ADXL345 Library. ADXL345 Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn. Code is shown below.
I have not changed the code except for changing the CS pin number.
I still get output as 0,0,0 in my serial monitor for x,y and z measurements. I am not sure if my hardware/pin connection is right or if there anything else needed to be done.
Thanks
