FT121 G Sensor Shield Version 1.0 Document Reference No.: FT 000916 Clearance No.: FTDI 351 Future Technology Devices International Ltd Datasheet FT121 G Sensor Shield 1.1 Features 1 Introduction The FT121 G-Sensor shield is designed to connect The FT121 G Sensor Shield has the following directly to an Arduino Pro development board. The features: shield allows the micro-controller on the Arduino Pro to access the FT121 USB device controller. FT121 enhanced USB device controller with SPI interface. Using the FTDI FT121 chipset and a three axes linear accelerometer (ST LIS331DLH) device, the module LIS313DLH 3- axis linear accelerometer (X, Y & may be used to implement a USB HID game Z) with selectable full scales of 2g/4g/8g controller. An SPI Interface: Data transfer over the SPI bus The user may also define other interesting to the Arduino pro via pin headers applications from the micro-controller board. Selectable SPI & IC interface to control the 3- The Arduino Pro is a micro-controller board based on axes accelerometer the ATmega168 or ATmega328 and is not available from FTDI. A serial UART output pin Two accelerometer interrupts Three pushbuttons and two LEDs for HID application 5V USB cable power supplied operation Onboard 3.3V regulator to power the accelerometer Mini-B USB connector o o Operating Temperature range -40 C to +85 C Use of FTDI devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the users risk, and the user agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FTDI from any and all damages, claims, suits or expense resulting from such use.
