The GY-61 ADXL335 is a 3-axis analog accelerometer sensor based on the ADXL335 chip, designed to measure acceleration in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) with a full-scale range of 3g. This sensor outputs an analog voltage proportional to acceleration, making it ideal for applications such as tilt detection, motion sensing, and shock or vibration monitoring. The compact and low-power design allows it to be used in battery-powered devices, with the ability to interface easily with various microcontrollers, including Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
This sensor operates within a wide measurement range of 3g, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from robotics and motion tracking to tilt sensing and vibration monitoring. Its high sensitivity of 300 mV/g ensures precise detection of even small accelerations, while its low power consumption of 350 µA makes it ideal for battery-operated devices.
The GY-61 module features a wide operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, allowing it to be used in a variety of projects. Its precise acceleration measurements make it suitable for applications such as robotics, drones, game controllers, and mobile devices. The module is easy to integrate, providing three analog outputs corresponding to the acceleration along each axis, which can be directly read by any analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
