Triple Axis Accelerometer - ADXL335

Pulling only 320 microamps means I can run this off a coin cell for weeks in my portable data logger. The 3g range is perfect for detecting tilt and gentle motion without clipping.

Wired it up to my Arduino in about five minutes and the analog readings were clean right out of the box, no noise even at 3.6V. The 320µA draw is impressively low for something this small, so it’s perfect for a battery-powered tilt sensor project I’ve been tinkering with.

The 320uA draw is insanely low, so I’ve left it running on a coin cell for weeks without swapping it out. It’s tiny at 0.7 inches, and the +/-3g range has been perfect for my vibration logging rig.
