Watch a collaborative engineering project video where Tomorrow Lab® partners with Analog Devices engineers to develop an innovative shipment quality logger using the ADXL380 accelerometer. Explore the complete product development process from initial discovery through final presentation, following a structured four-phase approach that demonstrates real-world engineering methodology. Learn about the capabilities of the ADI ADXL380, a low-noise, low-power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer featuring selectable measurement ranges (±4g/±8g/±16g), programmable 3.2 kHz bandwidth, FIFO buffering, and advanced motion detection including single, double, and triple-tap recognition. Observe the ideation process as the team generates multiple sketches, schematics, and prototypes while leveraging DigiKey's extensive electronic component catalog. Follow the hands-on prototyping phase where engineers integrate the ADXL380 with an Adafruit Feather M4 Express microcontroller and 2.9" tri-color eInk display to create a functional shipment monitoring device. Access the complete project files through the provided GitHub repository to examine schematics, code, and implementation details. Gain insights into collaborative engineering practices, component selection strategies, and the systematic approach to transforming sensor technology into practical applications for logistics and quality monitoring.
