Hi
I'm looking for a 3-axis accelerometer for my project.
The project is a solarpanel which rotates in two axis to adjust direction to follow the sun.
Now I'm overwhelmed by the amount of different sensors and don't know which one to choose.
I'm using it together with a teensy4.1 board.
For example I have found this two, but I'm not sure what the differents are.

Therefore it would be nice to get an assistance to choose the correct sensor.
Best regards Simon

Re: How to choose the correct accelerometer
The ADXL343 is a newer chip design and has somewhat better performance regarding zero-offset errors and temperature related drift. Either would work for your application, but I'd go with the newer ADXL343.
