Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer (+-2g/4g/8g/16g) [ADA2809]

Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer (+-2g/4g/8g/16g) [ADA2809]

• Three axis sensing, 10-bit precision with �2g/�4g/�8g/�16g selectable scaling
• Both I2C (2 possible addresses) and SPI interface option
• Plus 3 additional ADC inputs you can read over I2C
• Multiple data rate options 1 Hz to 5Khz
• Tap, Double-tap, orientation & freefall detection

<p>The 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:</p><ul><li>Three axis sensing, 10-bit precision</li><li>±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable scaling</li><li>Both I2C (2 possible addresses) and SPI interface options</li><li>Interrupt output</li><li>Multiple data rate options 1 Hz to 5Khz</li><li>As low as 2uA current draw (just the chip itself, not including any supporting circuitry)</li><li>Tap, Double-tap, orientation & freefall detection</li><li>3 additional ADC inputs you can read over I2C</li></ul><p>To all that, we've also added:</p><ul><li>3.3V regulator + level shifting, so you can safely use with any Arduino or microcontroller without the need for an external level shifter! </li></ul><p>We 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!</p><p>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.</p><p>To get you going fast, we spun up a breakout board for this little guy. Since it's a 3V sensor, we add a low-dropout 3.3V regulator and level shifting circuitry on board. That means its perfectly safe for use with 3V or 5V power and logic. It's fully assembled and tested.  Comes with a bit of 0.1" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard.  Two 2.5mm (0.1") mounting holes for easy attachment.</p><p> Check out our tutorial for all sorts of details, including pinouts, assembly, wiring, and more! </p><p></p>
