Spectacle Inertia Board

Spectacle Inertia Board

Discontinued

The Spectacle Inertia Board adds motion and orientation sensing to your SparkFun Spectacle projects. Built around the ADXL345 triple-axis MEMS accelerometer, it detects whether your project is moving, stationary, or under acceleration — all without any programming required.

The board connects to the Spectacle ecosystem via two 3.5mm TRRS jacks for daisy-chaining with a Director Board and other Spectacle modules. Configure behaviours through the Spectacle app, and trigger actions based on motion, tilt, or shaking.

Key Features

  • ADXL345 Accelerometer – Triple-axis motion and acceleration sensing
  • No Programming Required – Configure via the Spectacle app
  • TRRS Daisy-Chain – Two 3.5mm jacks for Spectacle signal routing (In/Out)
  • Motion Detection – Detect movement, stillness, tilt, and shaking
  • Part of Spectacle Ecosystem – Works with Director Board and all Spectacle modules

Ideal For

  • Motion-triggered props and costumes
  • Interactive art installations
  • No-code electronics projects
  • Theatre and performance effects
Note: Requires a Spectacle Director Board (sold separately) to operate. Pay attention to the In/Out jack directionality when daisy-chaining modules.
