I've connected an Arduino Uno to a MAX7219 IC, which is connected to only one standard 8x8 LED matrix, and an ADXL355 3-axis accelerometer. I use the matrix initially, and turn on all LEDs, while taking the "rest" values for the accelerometer to base all other calculations on. However, what happens is the current spike the LEDs create messes up the values - they become closer to 300, instead of the 230 they settle on when the spike is over. I've tried preventing this by adding up to a 5-second delay between the LEDs turning on and the rest values being measured. However, the problem still persists, though to a somewhat lesser extent.
Are there any methods to prevent this more effectively?
