Overview
The Adafruit ADXL326 is a 3-axis analog accelerometer module based on the ADXL326 sensor IC. It provides separate analog voltage outputs for the X, Y, and Z axes, making it suitable for direct connection to microcontroller ADC inputs and other analog acquisition systems. With a measurement range of -16 g to +16 g, the module can be used for both tilt and motion sensing as well as acceleration events with higher dynamic range.
The module is 5 V logic ready, which simplifies integration into existing 5 V embedded systems. Its breakout-style form factor supports prototyping and embedded development where a compact analog sensor solution is required. The sensor architecture is appropriate for applications that need straightforward analog signal evaluation without a digital communication interface.
