Download Adafruit_MMA8451

To begin reading sensor data, you will need to download the Adafruit_MMA8451_Library from

our github repository (http://adafru.it/dLJ). You can do that by visiting the github repo and

manually downloading or, easier, just click this button to download the zip

Download the Adafruit MMA8451

Library

Rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_MMA8451 and check that the

Adafruit_MMA8451 folder contains Adafruit_MMA8451.cpp and

Adafruit_MMA8451.h

Place the Adafruit_MMA8451 library folder your arduino sketchfolder/libraries/

folder.

You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE.

We also have a great tutorial on Arduino library installation at:

Download Adafruit_Sensor

The MMA8451 library uses the Adafruit_Sensor support backend so that readings can be

normalized between sensors. You can grab Adafruit_Sensor from the github

repo (http://adafru.it/aZm) or just click the button below.
