4.4.5 3-Axis Accelerometer

The MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter's Board includes a VTI digital 3-axis accelerometer (part number CMA3000-D01). The accelerometer supports SPI communication and outputs data for each X, Y and Z axis. The accelerometer is powered through pin P3.6. This interface, especially in conjunction with other on-board interfaces such as the LCD, enables several potential applications such as USB mouse movement emulation and tilt sensing. The example software used the accelerometer for the Tilt Puzzle, Demo Cube, and USB Mouse. For more information on the accelerometer chip, see the manufacturer's data sheet (http://www.vti.fi).
