ADXL372 Demo using Bluetooth
This demo will use EVAL-ADXL372-ARDZ along with EVAL-ADICUP3029 to create a impact measurement application. The ADXL372 is an ultralow power, 3-axis, ±200 g MEMS accelerometer.
General Description/Overview
The ADXL372 demo project uses the EVAL-ADXL372-ARDZ shield which has an ADXL372 accelerometer and a incorporated NHD-C12832A1Z-NSW-BBW display (128×32). However, for this example the display is not used.
The EVAL-ADICUP3029 is designed for IOT (Internet of Things) applications in mind, and therefore comes with on board Bluetooth 5.0 module.
Setting up the Hardware
Set switch S2 to USB Arduino function in order to view data over UART also. The UART baud rate is 9600 baud.
Place the EVAL-ADXL372-ARDZ on top of the EVAL-ADICUP3029. Make sure the jumpers P8, P9, P6 are configured exactly as the picture above.
- P9 → Pin 1-2
- P8 → Pin 2-3
- P6 → Pin 1-2
After making these configurations just plug in the USB connector.
Configuring the Software
For this application you will need to install on your IOS or Android device one of these apps.
Just press the Scan button on the bottom left corner in order for the app to start searching for Bluetooth devices.
Once the device is visible press connect to access the information provided over Bluetooth.
After connecting to the device and generating enough G acceleration(minimum of 10 G on any axis), information will be displayed on the application.

Outputting Data
The data from the accelerometer will be sent over Bluetooth but can also be viewed using a UART connection. To establish the connection the requirements are a micro USB cable connected to the board and a serial console program like Putty.
