In a previous article I have analized 3 accelerometer side by side comparing their noise level. Today I am going to test a 3 axis accelerometer from ST LIS331AL. I am going to compare it with the DE-ACCM2G accelerometer from Dimension Engeneering.
For testing purposes I have mounted the LIS331AL on a break-out board. If you're interested how this board can be done and device mounted make sure you read my article "DIY Surface Mount on a Budget".
I have connected both accelerometers to my USB Gamepad device and will be using the Gamepad Configuration Software to trace the signals (although an osciloscope could be used instead).
