MIKROE Shake2Wake Click User Manual

MIKROE Shake2Wake Click User Manual

Below you will find brief information for Shake2Wake. Shake2Wake is a low-power 3-axis accelerometer module from MikroElektronika. It includes an ADP195 power switch IC and a screw terminal for connecting to an external device. It can be used for continuous sensing (measurement mode) or wake-up detection (wake-up mode). The wake-up mode is ideal for motion-activated on/off switches. It also provides a SPI interface for communication.

Shake2Wake

1. Introduction

Shake2Wake click carries an ADXL362 ultralow power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer from Analog Devices. The distinguishing feature of this IC is that it incorporates several activity detection modes. The interrupt pins from the chip are connected to an onboard ADP195 power switch IC that in turn controls an external device connected through a screw terminal.

Otherwise, Shake2Wake click communicates with the target MCU through mikroBUS™ SPI interface. Uses 3.3V power supply only.

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.

Turn the board upside down so that the bottom side is facing you upwards.

Place shorter pins of the header into the appropriate soldering pads.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to the board, then solder the pins carefully.

3. Plugging the board in

Once you have soldered the headers your board is ready to be placed into the desired mikroBUS ™ socket. Make sure to align the cut in the lower-right part of the board with the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS ™ socket. If all the pins are aligned correctly, push the board all the way into the socket.

4. Essential features

Shake2Wake click has two main operating modes: “measuring” and “wake-up” To use it as a regular accelerometer, for continuous sensing, use the Measurement mode.

Shake2Wake click outputs 12-bit resolution data (8-bit also available). The “wake-up”

mode is for activity detection, ideal for motion activated on/off switches. The detection threshold is configurable (both intensity and duration). The duration of inactivity that leads to switching off is also programmable. In wake-up mode, the power consumption drops dramatically (270nA at 2V).

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the Shake2Wake click module?
The Shake2Wake click module is a low-power 3-axis accelerometer that can be used for continuous sensing or wake-up detection. It's ideal for applications where you need to detect motion or change in orientation, such as motion-activated on/off switches, wearable devices, or robotics.
What are the operating modes of the Shake2Wake click?
The Shake2Wake click module has two operating modes: Measurement and Wake-up. In Measurement mode, the module continuously senses acceleration data. In Wake-up mode, the module uses activity detection to trigger an event, like turning an external device on or off.
How does the Shake2Wake click communicate with the MCU?
The Shake2Wake click communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS™ SPI interface.
What is the power consumption of the Shake2Wake click in wake-up mode?
The power consumption of the Shake2Wake click drops dramatically in wake-up mode, down to 270nA at 2V.
