Arduino library for MMA7260Q (Tilt Sensor)

March 21, 2009 – 4:33 pm

In the past days I published a couple of arduino libraries. All coming from by XBee sensor development. I’m still waiting for the MAX756 to arrive from Futurlec, I need the MAX756 to power the xbee sensor with batteries and mount it in its final position. So in the meanwhile I’m cleaning a little bit [...]

Arduino XBee sensor (temperature, tilt, compass, and ambient light)

March 17, 2009 – 7:52 pm

I finally put together an Arduino Pro Mini, the XBee, the MMA7260Q, the HMC6352, the TEMT6000 and the DS1620.
This is how it looks like on the prototyping board (ugly, I know)
Hopefully it would look better when I move it to the PCB. But before doing that I need to get the battery power set up. [...]

Arduino tilt sensor using MMA7260Q accelerometer

November 3, 2008 – 9:27 pm

I’ve playing with the MMA7260Q accelerometer. Following the indications in

“Measuring Tilt with Low-g accelerometers“.
“Implementing Auto-zero calibration technique for accelerometers“
“AN3461 Tilt Sensing Using Linear Accelerometers”

I connected X,Y and Z of the MMA7260Q breakout to A0, A1 and A2 of the Arduino. Then, GS1 and GS2 connected to ground to set the range to [...]
