Offered as an attachment for various Tower® System modules, the TWRPI-MMA845XQ accelerometer accelerates your design time. It features the NXP® MMA8451Q 3-axis accelerometer with 14 bits of resolution and brings freefall/motion, pulse, and jolt detection to life in your designs. Simply place the TWRPI-MMA845XQ NXP Accelerometer Plug-In onto a parent controller or peripheral module in the Tower System, and start prototyping quickly and easily.

It is a great addition to the Kinetis® KwikStik development tool or any Tower System module containing TWRPI sockets.
