Pin Function Grouping Assistance

Looking at the datasheet of this component, can you group together pins by their functions? for example for Power, 3v3, gnd_1 gnd_2 etc NOTE: If you group them, can you not add the same pin if you already added them in a group? You should know which pin function is common for its function

Done — I grouped each terminal exactly once based on the datasheet pin functions: Power = VIN + 3.3V, Ground = both GND pins, Interface = SCL/SDA/SDO/CS, Control = INT1/INT2, and Mechanical = mounting pins. I also set matching pin types, pin groups, short descriptions, orientations, and sub-symbol suffixes.

    ADXL345 iMEMS® Accelerometer, 3 Axis Sensor Evaluation Board
    The ADXL345 measures acceleration in three axes (X, Y, Z) and outputs digital data via either I²C or SPI interfaces. It is widely used in applications like tilt sensing, vibration monitoring, free-fall detection, and motion-based user interfaces. Its high resolution (up to 13-bit) allows it to detect very small changes in motion, making it suitable for both consumer electronics and industrial applications.
    Key Features 3-axis acceleration measurement (X, Y, Z) Selectable measurement ranges: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g High resolution (13-bit) with up to 4 mg/LSB sensitivity Digital output interfaces: I²C and SPI Low power consumption: ideal for battery-powered devices Built-in motion detection functions: Tap and double-tap detection Free-fall detection Activity and inactivity monitoring Wide bandwidth range: supports various data rates for different applications Operating voltage: typically 2.0V to 3.6V Compact package: small LGA form factor suitable for space-constrained designs Common Applications Smartphones and tablets (screen rotation, motion sensing) Wearable devices and fitness trackers Gaming controllers Robotics and drones Vibration and shock monitoring systems
