Good accuracy, easy to integrate
Used this for a self-balancing robot prototype. The response time is quick enough for basic stabilization. Just make sure you use the correct voltage level if running on 3.3V logic.

Solid performance
Works well for tilt angle calculations. Not industrial grade, but perfectly fine for hobbyist drones or camera gimbals where extreme precision isn't critical.

Reliable I2C communication
No issues with noise on the I2C bus. The breakout board layout is logical, and the soldering pads are large enough for hand soldering without difficulty.

Great for learning sensors
Bought this for a university physics project. It clearly demonstrates gravity vector changes when tilted. The documentation online is plentiful which helped me get started quickly.

Good but needs calibration
The sensor works, but it required some software calibration to zero out the offset values. Once calibrated, the readings were consistent. Instructions could be clearer on this step.
Q: Do you provide sample code for ESP32?
A: We do not host code directly, but there are many open-source libraries available on GitHub and the Arduino IDE Library Manager that support the ADXL345 with ESP32.
Q: What is the maximum sampling rate available?
A: The ADXL345 chip on this module supports output data rates up to 3200 Hz, which can be configured via the register settings in your code.
Q: Is there a built-in voltage regulator?
A: The module includes a voltage regulator allowing it to accept input voltages between 3.3V and 5V safely, making it versatile for different microcontrollers.
Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, absolutely. Since the module supports I2C communication and operates at 3.3V, it is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
Q: Does this module come with header pins pre-soldered?
A: No, the module is shipped without header pins to allow for flexible mounting options. You will need to solder your own headers or wires.
