Tech Support: Triple Axis Accelerometer MMA7260 (DFR0068)

[u][b]Question:[/b][/u]
I have just bought a DFRobot "Triple Axis Accelerometer MMA7260" board.
The specs say 3.3V input but I notice there is a regulator chip on board. Is it therefore possible to apply 5V to Vcc?

Hi Martin,
It is possible to connect 5v to this module, ideally you should try to connect it to 3.3v. Depending on the micro you are using you might get higher measurements from the module.
