ADXL355 Accelerometer PMOD Demo

The ADuCM360_demo_adxl355_pmdz is an accelerometer demo project for the EVAL-ADICUP360 base board with the EVAL-ADXL355-PMDZ board, using the GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-ins in Eclipse environment.

General description

This project is an example for how to use EVAL-ADICUP360 board in combination with the EVAL-ADXL355-PMDZ accelerometer PMOD board.

The ADuCM360_demo_adxl355_pmdz project uses the EVAL-ADXL355-PMDZ which has the ADXL355 3-axis MEMS accelerometer on board.

The application reads the X , Y , and Z acceleration registers. The acceleration in the 3 axis is displayed in [G]. There is an internal temperature sensor in the ADXL355, which is converted by the on chip 12-bit ADC. The acceleration range can also be selected by setting the ADXL355_RANGE variable with the ADXL355.h file. (Values of [2, 4, and 8 are acceptable] )

All the outputs are printed from the UART to the USER USB port and can be read on the PC using a serial terminal program, such as Putty or Tera Term.

For precision applications, each ADXL355 chip requires individual calibration which can be done by measuring and setting the definitions ACC_TEMP_BIAS and ACC_TEMP_SENSITIVITY parameters in the ADXL362.h file.

The temperature in degrees celsius, can be derived from the ADC readings Tadc using the predefined formula: 

    Temp = (Tadc - ADXL355_TEMP_BIAS)/ ADXL355_TEMP_SLOPE) + 25;


Demo Requirements

The following is a list of items needed in order to replicate this demo.

  • Hardware
    • EVAL-ADICUP360
    • EVAL-ADXL355-PMDZ
    • Mirco USB to USB cable
    • PC or Laptop with a USB port
  • Software
    • ADuCM360_demo_adxl355_pmdz software
    • CrossCore Embedded Studio (2.7.0 or higher)
    • ADuCM36x DFP (1.0.2 or higher)
    • CMSIS ARM Pack (4.3.0 or higher)
    • Serial Terminal Program
      • Such as Putty or Tera Term

Setting up the hardware

  1. To program the base board, set the jumpers/switches as shown in the next figure. The important jumpers/switches are highlighted in red.
  2. Plug the EVAL-ADXL355-PMDZ board in the EVAL-ADICUP360 base board, via the PMOD_SPI port (P4).
  3. Plug in the USB cable from the PC to the EVAL-ADICUP360 base board via the User USB.(P13)

Obtaining the Source Code

There are two basic ways to program the ADICUP360 with the software for the ADXL355.

  1. Dragging and Dropping the .Bin to the MBED drive
  2. Building, Compiling, and Debugging using CCES

Importing the project into CrossCore is going to allow you to change parameters and customize the software to fit your needs, but will be a bit more advanced and will require you to download the CrossCore toolchain.

The software for the ADuCM360_demo_adxl355 demo can be found here:

For more information on importing, debugging, or other tools related questions, please see the tools user guide.

Configuring the Software Parameters

  • Temperature sensor calibration values- ADXL355_TEMP_BIAS and ADXL355_TEMP_SLOPE paramaters - find your values based on the calculation formula (ADXL355.h ):
#define ADXL355_TEMP_BIAS           (float)1852.0
#define ADXL355_TEMP_SLOPE          (float)-9.05
  • Accelerometer range setting - ADXL_RANGE parameter - 2, 4, or 8 are acceptable values to set the [g] range for the ADXL355 (ADXL355.h).
#define ADXL_SENSE        2
  • Sensor activity and inactivity thresholds - ACT_VALUE and INACT_VALUE paramaters used to determine at which acceleration values the sensor can react at sleep/wake-up commands (ADXL355.h):
#define ACT_VALUE          50
#define INACT_VALUE        50
  • Sensor activity and inactivity time - ACT_TIMER and INACT_TIMER paramaters used to determine sleep/wake-up intervals(ADXL355.h):
#define ACT_TIMER          50
#define INACT_TIMER        50

Outputting Data

Serial Terminal Output

  1. In order to view the data, you must flash the program to the EVAL-ADICUP360.
  2. Once complete you will need to switch the USB cable from the DEBUG USB (P14) to the USER USB (P13).
  3. Then follow the UART settings below with the serial terminal program.


Following is the UART configuration. 

  Select COM Port
  Baud rate: 9600
  Data: 8 bit
  Parity: none
  Stop: 1 bit
  Flow Control: none


The user must press the <ENTER> key each time they want to display the results.

How to use the Tools

The official tool we promote for use with the EVAL-ADICUP360 is CrossCore Embedded Studio. For more information on downloading the tools and a quick start guide on how to use the tool basics, please check out the Tools Overview page.

Project structure


The ADuCM360_demo_adxl355_pmdz project use basic ARM Cortex-M C/C++ Project structure. This project contains: system initialization part - disabling watchdog, setting system clock, enabling clock for peripheral; port configuration for SPI0, accelerometer sensor use; SPI read/write functions; sensor monitoring.

In the src and include folders you will find the source and header files related to ADXL355 application. You can modify as you wanted those files. The Communication.c/h files contain SPI and UART specific data, meanwhile the ADXL355.c/h files contain the accelerometer data. Here are parameters you can configure:


The RTE folder contains device and system related files:

  • Device Folder – contains low levels drivers for ADuCM360 microcontroller.(try not to edit these files)
  • system.rteconfig - Allows the user to select the peripherial components they need, along with the startup and ARM cmsis files needed for the project.
