## Description

The MSA301 is a super small and low-cost **triple-axis accelerometer**. It's inexpensive, but has just about every 'extra' you'd want in an accelerometer:

- Three-axis sensing, 14-bit resolution
- ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable scaling
- I2C interface on fixed I2C address 0x26
- Interrupt output
- Multiple data rate options 1 Hz to 500 Hz
- As low as 2uA current draw in low power mode (just the chip itself, not including any supporting circuitry)
- Tap, Double-tap, orientation & freefall detection

To make life easier so you can focus on your important work, we've taken the MSA301 and put it onto a breakout PCB along with support circuitry to let you use this little wonder with 3.3V (Feather/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino/ Metro328) logic levels. Additionally, since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!). We've even included [SparkFun qwiic](https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic) compatible **[STEMMA QT](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt)** connectors for the I2C bus so **you don't even need to solder!** Just wire up to your favorite micro and [you can use our CircuitPython/Python](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MSA301) or [Arduino drivers to easily interface with the MSA301](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_MSA301) and get motion measurements ASAP. [**QT Cable is not included**, but we have a variety in the shop](jst-kabel).

It's fully assembled and tested. Comes with a bit of 0.1" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard. Four 2.5mm (0.1") mounting holes for easy attachment.
