Hello! I'm a student in engineering and am on a project where I need to use accelerometers to measure small vibrations. From what I can tell, the ADXL377 seems to be what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if it has the sensitivity I need.
The vibrations I need to measure are around 1-200 Hz, and I see that the bandwidth is from .5 to 550 or 1600 Hz, but I'm not sure if that's the same thing. I read on another post that it is also necessary to use a raspberry pi, because Arduinos don't have enough memory, I believe. Also, the accelerations will be quite small, possibly under 1 g. Will this be a usable accelerometer? If not, could you please point me toward a different one that might work for my purposes?
Thank you!
