## Description

The Adafruit MSA311 is a compact, low-cost triple-axis accelerometer with 14-bit resolution and a rich set of built-in motion detection features. Very similar to the MSA301 but with an updated I2C address (0x62 instead of 0x26), it includes tap/double-tap detection, orientation sensing, freefall detection, and configurable data rates from 1 Hz to 500 Hz. Communicating over I2C, the MSA311 draws as little as 2 µA in low-power mode — ideal for battery-powered projects. The breakout includes a 3.3 V regulator and level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems, plus STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors for solderless wiring. Key Features 3-Axis Accelerometer – 14-bit resolution with ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable range Motion Detection – Tap, double-tap, orientation, and freefall detection built in Configurable Data Rate – 1 Hz to 500 Hz output options Ultra-Low Power – As low as 2 µA in low-power mode (sensor only) Interrupt Output – Hardware interrupt pin for event-driven sensing I2C Interface – Fixed address 0x62, with address selection pin for two sensors on one bus STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection (cable not included) 3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – On-board regulator and level shifting Mounting Holes – Four holes for secure attachment Note: The MSA311 is very similar to the MSA301 but is not a drop-in replacement. The I2C address has changed from 0x26 to 0x62. Ideal For Motion and gesture detection Tilt and orientation sensing Wearable electronics and activity tracking Battery-powered projects requiring low-current accelerometry Package Contents 1× Adafruit MSA311 Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout (assembled) 1× Header strip Resources STEMMA QT Overview
