accelerometer-mma7660fc

This is a library to run the MMA7660FC accelerometer via the i2c bus. It has tested on the BeagleBone Series, but it should also work for the Raspberry Pi.

Install:

npm install accelerometer-mma7660fc

Using it:

var MMA7660FC = require('accelerometer-mma7660fc');
 
// The initialiser is the i2c bus number that the accelerometer is on.
var accelerometer = new MMA7660FC(2);
 
// Get the accelerometer values - an object with x, y, z values which represent
// the G Force in the respective direction.
accelerometer.getValues(function (err, values) {
    console.log(values);      // { x: -0.047, y: -0.281, z: 0.938 }
});
