MMA7660 accelerometer and Mbed LPC1768 examp

The MMA7660FC is a digital output I²C, very low-power, low-profile capacitive micro-machined accelerometer featuring a low pass filter, compensation for zero-g offset and gain errors and conversion to six-bit digital values at a user configurable output data rate. The device can be used for sensor data changes, product orientation and gesture detection through an interrupt pin (INT). The device is housed in an extremely small 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.9 mm DFN package.
