The JoyWarrior24F14 from Saelig is a high-resolution USB-connected three-axis acceleration sensor with a 125μg sensitivity. The sensors are based on a MEMS sensor and measure with 14bit resolution in the ranges ±1g, ±1.5g, ±2g, ±3g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g, delivering 125 results per second.
Connection via USB allows easy use with almost any computer. Since the sensor ennumerates and works as a joystick, accessing the data can be easily done via the operating system's joystick API without installing any specific drivers.
The included software operates on Windows and MacOS X platforms and contains a configuration tool to set the sensor parameters, with tilt angle measuring, a calibration tool, and a simple data recorder. A size of 30x33x5mm and a mass of less than 5g allow installation of the sensor in many situations. The modules are suitable for acceleration, tilt, and low frequency vibration sensing, as well as for human input applications. An additional eight digital inputs are available for buttons or other logic signals.
