Accelerometer Wiring

[Alan Anderson]

The accelerometer and gyro boards should have been packaged together (actually connected to one another) in a small antistatic bag in your Kit of Parts. There should not have been any pins in the connector holes when you got it.

Aside from the pins, does your ADXL345 board match the picture in the Sensor Manual?




Last year, I did solder a header ("pins") to the SCI connector of our accelerometer, and used two of the 2-pin "jumper cables" to connect it to the four SCI pins on the Digital Sidecar.

This year's model comes with pins.

The KOP also came with a set of gray female-female 2-pin cables that can be used for hooking them up like Alan did last year.
