I am working with an Arduino Due and the Analog ADXL345 through a module following this tutorial, with the wire.h library at Fast Speed (400kHz), the Accelerometer Sampling at 800Hz (for the Maximum Reccomended Limit), and the Serial Monitor at 115200 bps.
The cable is 24AWG solid wire, 6in length, two pairs, for 3.3V, GND, SCL and SDA pins.
When the accelerometer is starting up, it generates a high pitched noise is generated!. Possibly by the 5V-3.3V regulator or by the accelerometer itself.
Under 400kHz|800Hz, the readings are unstable: by simply touching some open terminals in the Due, the Accelerometers readings toggle between strong oscillations and the correct ones (Figure 1).
After some "taps", the oscillations stops and the proper measures can be captured at the expected sampling rate (Figure 2). Note the mean values are modified for plotting only.
What should I do to prevent such behavior?, and what is causing that, considering the device is indeed working at the expected speed?
