GY-61 ADXL335 Module is a small, thin, low-power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs.

The ADXL335 Module 3-axis Analog Output Accelerometer measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g.

It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.

This breakout board comes with an onboard voltage regulator and works at both 3.3V & 5V (3-5V).

An accelerometer is an electro-mechanical device that will measure acceleration forces.

These forces may be static, like the constant force of gravity pulling at your feet, or they could be dynamic – caused by moving or vibrating the accelerometer.
