arduino-accelerometer-and-data-logger

This project was intended to create a low cost accelerometer with portable DAQ system. The system consisted of a three axis accelerometer, an Arduino and a data logging shield. When the user presses the start/stop (on/off) button the Arduino will start logging the output from the accelerometer.

The following is the parts list:

• +/- 3G triple axis accelerometer ($15)

• Illuminated latching on/off switch ($2)

• SD Data logging shield for Arduino ($20)

• Arduino Uno ($25)

• SD card

• Shield stacking headers ($2)
