Hi Jen, How do I set up the Circuitry to ensure that 2 accelerometers can work at the same time?
Hi there, it sounds like you are looking for technical assistance. Please use the link in the banner above, to get started with posting a topic in our forums. Our technical support team will do their best to assist you. (Note: I am not sure how much of this project is within the scope of our support team.)
That being said, this post is over 2 years old and I am not sure if the author still keeping tabs, but it looks like the accelerometer uses the I2C bus. Based on the datasheet, you would need to us a MUX and modify the provided code (we don't provide support on custom code). Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.
I cannot SSH into my Pi when it is on battery power. I think it is failing to boot as the LED never stops flashing. Using the exact parts list given above.
For newbies or dabblers like me... to get the code from github enter into the terminal git clone https://github.com/jenfoxbot/ImpactForceMonitor.git then cd /ImpactForceMonitor
