Accurate Tilt Detection
Using this for a self-balancing robot prototype. The tilt angles are precise enough for my needs and the response time is fast.

Good sensor, basic docs
The hardware is solid and readings are stable. Wish the included documentation was more detailed for beginners, but online resources fill the gap.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
Works flawlessly with my Uno. Easy to wire up using the I2C pins. The library support is excellent and I got readings within minutes.

Great Value for Money
Cheaper than buying individual chips and designing a PCB. Arrived quickly and well protected in anti-static packaging.

Reliable Module
Bought five for a workshop. Four worked perfectly out of the box. One needed a solder reflow on the pins but works now.
Q: What is the sampling rate?
A: The output data rate can be configured from 1.56Hz to 800Hz via software registers.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is typically 0x1D, but it can vary based on the SA0 pin configuration.
Q: Is there a library available for Python?
A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available for Raspberry Pi using Python.
Q: Can I use this with a 5V logic board?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator compatible with 5V systems like the Arduino Uno.
Q: Does it measure vibration frequency?
A: It measures acceleration data which can be processed to analyze vibration, but it is not a dedicated vibration frequency meter.
