T000020

The T000020 TinkerKit is based on the LIS344AL, a three axis accelerometer. You can get data about the third axis (referred to as Z) by soldering a header to the through hole labelled Z. On the back of the module you can find two signal amplifier and a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered. This module outputs 0V to 5V on one of its two signal pins when its G force is changed (e.g. is moved). The value is approximately 2.5V when there is 0G on the X or Y axis. When you connect this module to the input on an Arduino using the TinkerKit shield, you can expect to read values between 0 to 1023 while moving the module. This module is a sensor. The connector is an output which must be connected to one of the input connectors on the TinkerKit shield.
