ADXL335 3-Axis Analog Accelerometer Sensor Module

The ADXL335 3-Axis Analog Accelerometer Sensor Module is a compact, low-power motion sensor capable of measuring acceleration along X, Y, and Z axes with a ±3g full-scale range. It provides analog voltage outputs that are easy to interface with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, and other 3.3V or 5V systems.

This breakout board includes an onboard ultra-low noise LDO voltage regulator, built-in filtering components, and a power status LED, ensuring stable and reliable performance even in electrically noisy environments. The ADXL335 can measure both static acceleration (tilt and orientation) and dynamic acceleration caused by motion, shock, or vibration.

With support for tap, double-tap, and free-fall detection, this sensor is ideal for robotics, drones, gaming devices, and vibration monitoring applications. The bandwidth of each axis can be customized using external capacitors, allowing precise tuning for different use cases.
