2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board , make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 TILT-n-SHAKE click 2 3 4. Essential features To use TILT-n-SHAKE click as an accelerom- eter, keep the enable pin (EN) pulled to logic high. The 14-bit digital output has over 8g full-scale range with 1 mg/LSB sensitivity, and a fast output time of about 700 micro- Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure seconds. As a tilt sensor, the MMA8491Q has the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are three detection outputs, one for each axis: Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the Xout, Yout and Zout. Three onboard LEDs will appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. also signal the tilt orientation. 1. Introduction TILT-n-SHAKE click carries Freescales 3. Plugging the board in MMA8491Q IC. Its a multifunctional 3-axis click digital accelerometer that can also be Once you have soldered the headers your configured as a 45-degree Tilt sensor. As board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD an accelerometer, it communicates with the mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut 2 www.mikroe.com target MCU through mikroBUS I C pins (SCL, in the lower-right part of the board with the SDA). When configured as a Tilt sensor, the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS click board needs only one output pin INT socket.
