Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - ADXL335

sku: SEN-09269

Description: Breakout board for the 3 axis ADXL335 from Analog Devices. This is the latest in a long, proven line of analog sensors - the holy grail of accelerometers. The ADXL335 is a triple axis accelerometer with extremely low noise and power consumption - only 320uA! The sensor has a full sensing range of +/-3g.

There is no on-board regulation, provided power should be between 1.8 and 3.6VDC.

Board comes fully assembled and tested with external components installed. The included 0.1uF capacitors set the bandwidth of each axis to 50Hz.

Dimensions: 0.7x0.7"

Does this breakout include the accelerometer? I am new to this stuff and am having trouble understanding all the breakouts and evaluation board nomenclature.

Yup, comes with everything shown in the pics, well, minus Mr. Washington. All components will be populated.

The graphic on the board showing the orientation of the x,y,z axis is wrong. I didn't notice this at first but when the Y axis failed I noticed that the x axis didn't respond when I rotated the board around Y. A quick check of the ADXL335 data verified that it is the graphic on the board that is incorrect. It should be rotated 90 degrees so that Y points in the direction X does now.

The X axis of my accel just died... just like that... i was reading the voltage values with a multimeter and suddenly X reads 0 V (marked as Y on BOB) I tried with the self-test pin but it's completely gone... the other 2 axis work fine... has anyone else had this problem??
