The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.
The ADXL345 is well suited for mobile device applications. It measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°.
Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion and if the acceleration on any axis exceeds a user-set level. Tap sensing detects single and double taps. Free-fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can be mapped to one of two interrupt output pins. An integrated, patent pending 32-level first in, first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host processor intervention.
Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.
The ADXL345 is supplied in a small, thin, 3 mm × 5 mm × 1 mm, 14-lead, plastic package.
The goal of this project (Microcontroller No-OS) is to be able to provide reference projects for lower end processors, which can't run Linux, or aren't running a specific operating system, to help those customers using microcontrollers with ADI parts. Here you can find a generic driver which can be used as a base for any microcontroller platform and also specific drivers for different microcontroller platforms.
The driver contains two parts:
The Communication Driver has a standard interface, so the ADXL345 driver can be used exactly as it is provided.
If the SPI communication is chosen, there are three functions which are called by the ADXL345 driver:
SPI driver architecture
If the I2C communication is chosen, there are three functions which are called by the ADXL345 driver:
I2C driver architecture
The implementation of these three functions depends on the used microcontroller.
The following functions are implemented in this version of ADXL345 driver:

This section contains a description of the steps required to run the ADXL345 demonstration project on a Digilent Cerebot MX3cK platform.
The ADXL345 demonstration project for PIC32MX320F128H consists of three parts: the ADXL345 Driver, the PmodACL Demo for PIC32MX320F128H and the PIC32MX320F128H Common Drivers.
All three parts have to be downloaded.
A PmodACL can be connected to the J2 connector of Cerebot MX3cK development board for I2C operation,
or to the JE connector of Cerebot MX3cK development board for SPI operation.
The following commands were implemented in this version of ADXL345 reference project for Cerebot MX3cK board.
