Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect the ADXL345 to an Arduino using I2C?
Use the board’s silkscreen to identify the I2C pins, then connect power/ground and the I2C lines to the Arduino’s I2C pins. Confirm your wiring against the listing photos and your library’s wiring notes.
Can I use this ShillehTek ADXL345 accelerometer with a Raspberry Pi?
Yes. The module is intended for Raspberry Pi projects and supports common digital interfaces (I2C or SPI), making it suitable for SBC motion sensing when wired to the correct bus pins.
Does this ADXL345 module support SPI as well as I2C?
Yes. This module supports both I2C and SPI, so you can choose the bus that best fits your microcontroller/SBC and available pins.
Is this ADXL345 compatible with Klipper Input Shaper?
Not out of the box. This variant requires removing the R4 pull-down resistor to enable Klipper Input Shaper capability.
Why choose a pre-soldered ADXL345 module for prototyping?
Pre-soldered headers speed up breadboard and jumper-wire testing and help you prototype without needing soldering equipment. It’s a convenient option for quick Arduino and Raspberry Pi sensor builds.
