GrovePi helps you build your own smart devices. The Base Kit includes the GrovePi board and 12 Grove sensors so you can build anything from a weather station or plant monitoring station to a MINECRAFT controller or automated rain notifier. Raspberry Pi sold separately.
The module was designed as ADXL335 breakout board. It comes with 3 analog outputs for X, Y and Z 3-axis measurements. The accelerometer sensor combined 3.3 and 5V power supply, can be used in standard Arduino device.
Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer(±16g) (ADXL-345 ) also called 'Gyro'
Based on the excellent ADXL-345, this I2C digital 3-axis accelerometer has excellent EMI protection. Its variable output makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:
HDD shock protection
Vibration sensor
Game controller input
Robotics
Smart vehicles
Anywhere you need to obtain motion-sensing & orientation information.
