BMA255 Accelerometer
====================

The `Bma255Accelerometer <https://mbientlab.com/docs/metawear/android/2/com/mbientlab/metawear/module/Bma255Accelerometer.html>`_ class controls the accelerometer on MetaEnvironment and MetaDetect boards.  This class is almost identical to the `BMI160 Accelerometer <https://mbientlab.com/docs/metawear/android/2/com/mbientlab/metawear/module/Bmi160Accelerometer.html>`_ except it does not detect significant motion nor contains a step counter.  Please refer to the :doc:`bmi160_accelerometer` section for more details.
