It measures acceleration forces on the X, Y, and Z axes using the MMA8452Q triple-axis accelerometer, giving your robot awareness of its movements and orientation.\n\nThe sensor connects directly to the RedBot Mainboard via two 2×3 headers (one male, one female), allowing you to stack additional I²C sensors. Supported by the included RedBot library for easy bump and motion detection.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nTriple-Axis Accelerometer – MMA8452Q with X, Y, and Z measurement\n\nSelectable Range – ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g full scale\n\n12-Bit Resolution – Precise acceleration readings\n\nOrientation Detection – Portrait and landscape sensing\n\nOperating Voltage – 5 V DC\n\nStackable Headers – 2×3 male and female for I²C daisy-chaining\n\nCompact Size – 11.53 × 17.72 mm\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRedBot bump and collision detection\nRobot motion and tilt sensing\nOrientation-aware behaviours\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× SparkFun RedBot Accelerometer Sensor\n\n\nResources\n\nMMA8452Q Datasheet (PDF)\nRedBot Quickstart Guide\nRedBot Experiment Guide\nAssembly Guide\nSchematic (PDF)\nDesign Files (GitHub)\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13409,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-SEN-12589","price":14.74,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":126,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
