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.
