## Description

The SparkFun RedBot Accelerometer is an add-on sensor that provides bump and motion detection for the RedBot platform. 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. The 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. Key Features Triple-Axis Accelerometer – MMA8452Q with X, Y, and Z measurement Selectable Range – ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g full scale 12-Bit Resolution – Precise acceleration readings Orientation Detection – Portrait and landscape sensing Operating Voltage – 5 V DC Stackable Headers – 2×3 male and female for I²C daisy-chaining Compact Size – 11.53 × 17.72 mm Ideal For RedBot bump and collision detection Robot motion and tilt sensing Orientation-aware behaviours Package Contents 1× SparkFun RedBot Accelerometer Sensor Resources MMA8452Q Datasheet (PDF) RedBot Quickstart Guide RedBot Experiment Guide Assembly Guide Schematic (PDF) Design Files (GitHub)
