Read a Freescale MMA7455 Accelerometer using I2C

Code: Select all

MODULE Accelerometer;
(* =========================================================================  
   Example Cortex-M3 Oberon I2C Accelerometer Program  

   Description:
     Reads the accelerometer X, Y, Z and temperature values every 50ms and 
     displays the values whenever the change exceeds a specified threshold. 
   
   Target: 
     LPC13xx systems with a Freescale MMA7455 3-axis Accelerometer 
     connected to the I2C bus

   Tested with:
     Embedded Artists LPC1343 LPCXpresso + baseboard

     NXP LPC13xx User Manual UM10375
