Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer 200g (ADXL372)
You can find a variety of 3-axis accelerometers on our website that can meet different scenarios and needs. This time, we bring you the industrial grade, high stability, high precision and low power ADI ADXL series three-axis accelerometers.
The Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer ±200g (ADXL372) is a ultralow power digital output MEMS Accelerometer, it can provide a 12-bit output at 100 mg/LSB scale factor. The most notable feature of this sensor is its ultra-low power consumption(only 22μA in measurment mode) and large measurement range(±200g). All the data output via the Grove I2C port, the I2C address is changeable. In order to meet a wider range of measurement needs, the sampling rate can be selected from 400Hz/800Hz/1600Hz/3200Hz/6400Hz, and the bandwidth can be selected from 200Hz/400Hz/800Hz/1600Hz/3200Hz. In addition to being used as an acceleration measurement, you can also use this module to do impact and shock detection.
The ADI ADXL Series Accelerometer includes four products that will meet your different range and output needs:
| Product | Measurement Range | Output Port | Power Consumption |

In addition, you can consider our new Seeeduino Lotus M0+, which is equivalent to the combination of Seeeduino V4.2 and Baseshield.
**1** Please plug the USB cable gently, otherwise you may damage the port. Please use the USB cable with 4 wires inside, the 2 wires cable can't transfer data. If you are not sure about the wire you have, you can click [here](https://www.seeedstudio.com/Micro-USB-Cable-48cm-p-1475.html) to buy
**2** Each Grove module comes with a Grove cable when you buy. In case you lose the Grove cable, you can click [here](https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Universal-4-Pin-Buckled-20cm-Cable-%285-PCs-pack%29-p-936.html) to buy.
Hardware Connection
Step 1. Connect the Grove - 3-Axis Analog Accelerometer ±200g (ADXL372) to the I2c port of the Base Shield.
Step 2. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino.
Step 3. Connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.
Software
If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we strongly recommend you to see [Getting Started with Arduino](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Getting_Started_with_Arduino/) before the start.
Step 1. Download the Seeed_ADXL_372 library from Github.
Step 2. Refer to How to install library to install library for Arduino.
Step 3. Then open

}
Step 4. Upload the demo. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check How to upload code.
Step 5. Open the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE by click Tool-> Serial Monitor. Or tap the ++ctrl+shift+m++ key at the same time. Set the baud rate to 115200.
Step 6. Calibration wait for calibration, just few seconds the calibration will be finished
Step 7. Now you can use this sensor, and the output will be like this:
Please Place the module horizontally!
