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) **Product Type:** physical ## Documents & Downloads - [RedBot Accelerometer Schematic](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkD+wwBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0b45cf0e0edaa64628bd8b8e092a7985c9de5418/RedBot_Accelerometer-v14.pdf) — Schematic · PDF · 51.6 KB — Circuit schematic for the SparkFun RedBot Accelerometer board - [MMA8452Q Accelerometer Datasheet](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkD%2FQwBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--4d70cf192b85771c6d557cfbe62801abc8e0b296/MMA8452Q.pdf) — Datasheet · PDF · 403.0 KB — Technical datasheet for the MMA8452Q accelerometer IC used on the RedBot sensor - [RedBot Accelerometer Eagle Files](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkD%2FgwBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--7485a774dad9f4bdccc24dc7d232b4021a16020e/RedBot_Accelerometer-v14.zip) — Schematic · ZIP · 90.6 KB — Eagle PCB design files for the SparkFun RedBot Accelerometer board - [Supplier page — sparkfun.com](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDUxwBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--af5d81f2e24a08a22795585135a16ed4c462eb1c/sparkfun-redbot-sensor-accelerometer-sparkfun-com-2026-05-13.pdf) — Supplier Description · PDF · 743.0 KB — Snapshot of https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-redbot-sensor-accelerometer.html (captured 13 May 2026) - [master](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDg0YDSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--8d872af8c4af6c064c2b0ccbd2c5d97faa949f57/master.zip) — Example Code · ZIP · 595.8 KB ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDmxYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--8f0a31ec79bd98fb15a0351d3beb25d5a7e738cb/12589-SparkFun_RedBot_Sensor_-_Accelerometer-01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDnBYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--d6e1943704c43ca4041be908a43b0227ec506fb5/12589-SparkFun_RedBot_Sensor_-_Accelerometer-02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDnRYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--6d6bdf386419652172dd1724bb0fbd4186b2c860/12589-SparkFun_RedBot_Sensor_-_Accelerometer-03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDnhYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--495112c6f5283004582363d88f44f70516ec215b/12589-SparkFun_RedBot_Sensor_-_Accelerometer-04.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
