# Accelerometer Bricklet

Note

This Bricklet is currently work-in-progress!

## Features

- 3-axis accelerometer
- 0.001G steps with 16bit resolution
- Up to ±16g full-scale range
- Full 1kHz data rate with callbacks

## Description

The Accelerometer Bricklet can be used to extend the features of Bricks with the capability to measure acceleration in x-, y- and z-axis. The measured acceleration can be read out in G. With configurable events it is possible to react on changing acceleration without polling.

The Bricklet does have an LED that can be turned on trough the API, e.g. to show that a specific acceleration was reached.
