MMA7660 3 Axis Triaxial Digital Accelerometer Sensor Board Module

This module serves to breakout the MMA7660 chipset, a chip capable of providing 3 axis accleration readings. The chipset features a 3 axis accelorometer (±1.5g) and an internal dropout regulator to allow the use of 3.3V supplies.

When combined with free libraries it is possible to utilize the chipset’s processing power to perform data conversions and combination for greater accuracy and precision in positioning calculations. Furthermore the INT pin provides an interrupt that signals when fresh data is available from the sensor to limit the need for continuous polling.

Communication is handled through a 2 pin I2C interface, available on a wide range of microcontrollers. The I2C address by default is 0x4c.
