Fermion: BMA220 Digital Triaxial Acceleration Sensor (Breakout, ±16g)

The Fermion BMA220 Digital Triaxial Acceleration Sensor is a compact breakout board designed for three-axis acceleration measurement. Featuring an I2C interface and selectable ranges from ±2g to ±16g, it suits makers, students, and hobbyists developing motion-aware electronics. It provides dependable detection for tilt, shock, motion, and vibration.

Bosch BMA220 sensing core

The module is built around the compact Bosch BMA220 digital accelerometer to capture acceleration across three axes. Its compact breakout format makes it easy to integrate into low-profile projects.

Selectable acceleration measurement ranges

Users can configure the sensor across selectable measurement ranges from ±2g up to ±16g. This flexibility allows projects to tune sensitivity according to the required dynamic range.

Standard I2C communication interface

The breakout uses a standard I2C digital interface for straightforward wiring and communication. This ensures seamless connectivity with microcontrollers and embedded development platforms.

Versatile motion and vibration detection

The sensor is suited for detecting tilt, general motion, sudden shocks, and continuous vibration. This makes it an effective choice for robotics orientation, impact logging, and activity sensing.
