Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer (+-2g/4g/8g/16g)
DESCRIPTIONThe LIS3DH is a very popular low power triple-axis accelerometer. It's low-cost, but has just about every 'extra' you'd want in an accelerometer:Three axis sensing, 10-bit precisionå±2g/å±4g/å±8g/å±16g selectable scalingBoth I2C (2 possible addresses) and SPI interface optionsInterrupt outputMultiple data rate options 1 Hz to 5KhzAs low as 2uA current draw (just the chip itself, not including any supporting circuitry)Tap, Double-tap, orientation & freefall detection3 additional ADC inputs you can read over I2CWe kept seeing this accelerometer in teardowns of commercial products and figured that if it's the most-commonly used accelerometer, its worth having a breakout board!This sensor communicates over I2C or SPI (our library code supports both) so you can share it with a bunch of other sensors on the same I2C bus. There's an address selection pin so you can have two accelerometers share an I2C bus.To get you going fast, we spun up a breakout board for this little guy. S
