Good value but needs level shifting
The sensor itself is accurate, but remember that it is a 3.3V device. If you are using a 5V microcontroller without a logic level converter, you might face issues. Otherwise, solid performance.

Standard component, great price
This is a standard MMA8452 breakout. It does exactly what it says. Fast shipping and the pins were pre-soldered which saved me time.

Works well after figuring out address
Took me a while to find the correct I2C address in the datasheet, but once connected, it worked perfectly. Good documentation would be a nice addition.
Q: Can this measure vibration frequencies?
A: While it can detect acceleration changes related to vibration, it is primarily designed for static tilt and low-frequency motion. For high-frequency vibration analysis, specialized sensors may be required.
Q: Does it come with headers soldered?
A: Yes, the male pin headers are pre-soldered to the board, allowing for immediate use with breadboards or jumper wires.
Q: Is this module compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi via the I2C interface. Ensure you enable I2C in the Raspberry Pi configuration settings.
Q: Is there a library available for ESP32?
A: Yes, several open-source libraries support the MMA8452 on the ESP32 platform. You can find them in the Arduino Library Manager by searching for 'MMA8452'.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address for the MMA8452 on this module is typically 0x1D. You can verify this using an I2C scanner sketch.
