Appendix C:
Accessing the Digital
Accelerometer Data from
the LVC-5000
The system employs Analog Devices’s ADXL345 Digital
Accelerometer which is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis
accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement
at up to ±16 g. It interfaces with the LVC-5000 through a
SPI interface.
To access the Gsensor data, locate the adxl345_v001 folder
and execute the executable file adxl345 and it will show G
value of 3 axes.
Driver Installation
To access the G-Sensor data, use the following
instructions:
Make sure you already installed the Lanner GPIO 1.
driver on your LVC-5000 as instructed in Appendix B.
To access the Gsensor data, locate the adxl345_v001
2.
folder and execute the executable file adxl345 and it
will show G value of 3 axes.
A sample program in C:++
// main.cpp
// The adxl345.exe utility shows the 3 axis G value.
