The ADXL345 is a 3-axis accelerometer module that measures acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes. It is a small, low-power device that can be used to sense motion and orientation in a variety of applications. The module typically includes the ADXL345 accelerometer chip, as well as supporting circuitry such as a voltage regulator and level shifting circuitry. It communicates with a microcontroller or other control device using a serial communication protocol, such as I2C or SPI. The ADXL345 is often used in projects that require the measurement of acceleration, such as wearable devices, robotics, and motion-controlled games. It is also commonly used in conjunction with other sensors, such as gyroscopes, to provide a more complete picture of an object's orientation and movement.
The ADXL345 chip is cap-based Accelerometer sensor.
The Accelerometer measures total acceleration on an object, including the static acceleration from gravity it would experience even when its not moving.
It can be used to easily be used to detect gravity strength, acceleration or the title (angle) of the object the module is attached to.
This module provides information on all 3 Dimensions, or 3-Axis, of Space at a single point in time.

ADXL345 3-Axis Accelerometer Module Tutorial: Arduino I2C/SPI Wiring, Reading g-Forces, Tilt/Orientation, and Reliable Motion Detection
This tutorial is a detailed, practical guide to using the ADXL345 3-axis accelerometer module (Leobot Product #519) with Arduino. You will learn correct wiring for <strong>I2C</strong> and <strong>SPI</strong>, how to read raw acceleration data, convert it into <strong>g</strong> and <strong>m/s²</strong>, compute basic tilt angles, and build robust motion features like activity detection, free-fall detection, and interrupt-driven events. You’ll also learn the common pitfalls (wrong I2C address, floating CS pin, noisy readings, and “why do my values jump?”).
