Fermion BMA220 3-Axis Acceleration Sensor I2C

This small breakout from DFRobot (Fermion series) carries the 3-axis accelerometer BMA220 from Bosch. It measures tilt, motion, shock and vibration and is read via I2C. The measuring range can be switched between ±2 g and ±16 g. At 13 × 22 mm, the board also fits into tight enclosures.

Note: The BMA220 is designed for 2.0 V to 3.6 V. DFRobot recommends a 3.3 V microcontroller and states that direct operation on Arduino UNO and Leonardo with 5 V is possible.
