BTT Octopus - ADXL345 on MCU's SPI3 bus

[Dragi2k]

Hey,

I Have btt octopus, can i run the adxl345 direkt on the spi3 of the octopus? Or is it only via rpi useable?

Many thanks, this idea is very useful for me! In my printer I have a non-standard rpi4 board and SPI is not easily accessible, but I use Octopus and I have a lot of I/O free

Hi, I tested in these days ADXL345 on SPI1 port of Octopus but sometimes “ACCELEROMETER_QUERY” fails and sometimes it reports right data:

ADXL345 is 5V powered and now I changed cable with a shorter model but the problem remains…

some suggestions?
bye

Can someone highlight PA15 and Spi3 on the board? I can’t find either anywhere.

Very easy to find on the PIN document published by BTT.
