I am extremely new to working with sensors and Arduino and IoT equipment altogether. I am using an Arduino Uno. I need to use an ADXL345 sensor with an ESP8266 Wifi module for a project. The two devices work on their own just fine. But when I connect them together, with the Generic ESP8266 Module board, the ADXL345 does not get detected.
I am using the 2.5.0 version of the ESP8266 library as that's the only one that seems to work with both the ESP8266 and the ADXL345 sensor.
Below is my code -
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_ADXL345_U.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
/* Assign a unique ID to this sensor at the same time */
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified accel = Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified(12345);
char ssid[] = "ssid"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "pass"; // your network password
int keyIndex = 0; // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP)
WiFiClient client;
void displayDataRate(void)
{
Serial.print ("Data Rate: ");
switch(accel.getDataRate())
{
case ADXL345_DATARATE_3200_HZ:
Serial.print ("3200 ");
break;
case ADXL345_DATARATE_1600_HZ:
Serial.print ("1600 ");
break;
case ADXL345_DATARATE_800_HZ:
Serial.print ("800 ");
break;

void displayRange(void)
{

switch(accel.getRange())

break;
case ADXL345_RANGE_2_G:
Serial.print ("2 ");
break;
default:
Serial.print ("?? ");
break;
}
Serial.println(" g");
}
void setup(void)
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Accelerometer Test"); Serial.println("");
delay(5000);
/* Initialise the sensor */
if(!accel.begin())
{
/* There was a problem detecting the ADXL345 ... check your connections */

Serial.println("");
}
void loop(void)

// Connect or reconnect to WiFi
if(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");
Serial.println(ssid);
while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
WiFi.begin(ssid, pass); // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network
Serial.print(".");
delay(5000);
}
Serial.println("\nConnected.");
}
/* Get a new sensor event */
sensors_event_t event;
accel.getEvent(&event);
/* Display the results (acceleration is measured in m/s^2) */
Serial.print("X: "); Serial.print(event.acceleration.x); Serial.print(" ");

Can someone please, explain to me where I am going wrong?
