H3LIS331DL Accelerometer 16-bit output

Hello,

Sparkfun sells a high-G accelerometer called the H3LIS331DL. I noticed it says that it has a 16-bit data output. I currently have a ESP32 which uses a 12-bit ADC. Will these be compatible or should I use something with a higher resolution ADC?

Thanks,

Julian

Hello Julian,

The H3LIS331DL communicates over I2C or SPI, so you won’t need the ADC. These communication lines should be able to accommodate the 16-bit outputs. I hope this helps!

Thanks Brandon! That clears up my issue.
