[[File:Mma7361 11.jpg|400px]]

This is a breakout for freescale mma7361l analog three axis accelerometer.The MMA7361L is a low power, low profile capacitive micromachined
accelerometer featuring signal conditioning, a 1-pole low pass filter,temperature compensation, self test, 0g-Detect which detects linear freefall,and g-Select which allows for the selection between 2 sensitivities. Zero-g offset and sensitivity are factory set and require no external devices. The MMA7361L includes a Sleep Mode that makes it ideal for handheld battery powered electronics.

==Features==
* Low Voltage Operation: 2.2 V – 3.6 V
* High Sensitivity (800 mV/g @ 1.5g)
* Selectable Sensitivity (±1.5g, ±6g)
* Fast Turn On Time (0.5 ms Enable Response Time)
* Self Test for Freefall Detect Diagnosis
* 0g-Detect for Freefall Protection
* Signal Conditioning with Low Pass Filter
* Robust Design, High Shocks Survivability
* RoHS Compliant
* Environmentally Preferred Product
* Low Cost

==Example code==
 #include <AcceleroMMA7361.h>
 AcceleroMMA7361 accelero;
 int x;
 int y;
 int z;
 void setup()
 {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  accelero.begin(13, 12, 11, 10, A0, A1, A2);
  accelero.setARefVoltage(5); //sets the AREF voltage to 3.3V
  accelero.setSensitivity(LOW); //sets the sensitivity to +/-6G
  accelero.calibrate();
 }

 void loop()
 {
  x = accelero.getXAccel();
  y = accelero.getYAccel();
  z = accelero.getZAccel();
  Serial.print("\nx: ");
  Serial.print(x);
  Serial.print(" \ty: ");
  Serial.print(y);
  Serial.print(" \tz: ");
  Serial.print(z);
  Serial.print("\tG*10^-2");
  delay(500); //make it readable
 }
