Project Summary
This episode of Potentially Genius shows how the ADXL380’s combination of high sensitivity, low noise, low power consumption, and tap detection can be used to create a reusable shipping-impact monitor that records and displays package handling events throughout transit. The result is a practical prototype that helps users determine whether a package experienced potentially damaging drops during shipping.
