Hi there,

I read Ning Jia's article titled “Detecting Human Falls with a 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer.  It looks like a robust and fit for purpose approach.

I am considering using the ADXL346 instead of the ADXL345 due to space constraints.  From a cursory review of the datasheets, this seems entirely possible.  Can someone from ADI advise if this should be relatively painless, or if there are any gotchas I should look out for?  Thank you.
