Adafruit Lis3Dh Triple-Axis Accelerometer (+-2G4G8G16G) Ada2809]

The LIS3DH is a very popular low power triple-axis accelerometer Its low-cost, but has just about every extra youd want in an accelerometer:Three axis sensing, 10-bit precisionA2gA4gA8gA16g 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 I2cTo all that, weve also added:33V regulator + level shifting, so you can safely use with any Arduino or microcontroller without the need for an external level shifterWe kept seeing this accelerometer in teardowns of commercial products and figured that if its the most-commonly used accelerometer, its worth having a breakout boardThis 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 Theres an address selection pin so you can have two accelerometers share an I2c busTo get you going fast, we spun up a breakout board for this little guy Since its a 3V sensor, we add a low-dropout 33V regulator and level shifting circuitry on board That means its perfectly safe for use with 3V or 5V power and logic Its fully assembled and tested comes with a bit of 01 standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard Two 25mm (01) mounting holes for easy attachment
