Re: Problem with I2C accelerometer BMA020

Do you think I should open the NXT and unsolder the resistors? I do not really want so much. Is not there another way?
Thanks and
Greetings

So the board 2.5V to 6V tolerate.

Problem with I2C accelerometer BMA020

Hello, I bought recently an I2C accelerometer. This involves the BMA020 that is built on a board with level converters and various other components, but no other processors. The problem is that I get the part not running. I do not know if the circuit is constructed correctly. Here is the datasheet o...
