Get started with I2C
Get started with the LIS3DH by verifying the connection.
I2C: Accelerometer
Learn the I2C protocol by reading the physical orientation using an accelerometer.
This tour will give an introduction into using I2C devices, using the LIS3DH accelerometer. This is a cheap and low-power accelerometer that is used on a lot of prototyping boards. It explains how to connect to an accelerometer and how to read its values.
Officially these are called I²C devices, but for simplicitly we’re using I2C for readability and searchability instead.
Configuring the accelerometer
Turn on the accelerometer and start reading values
Reading acceleration values
Read the X, Y, and Z values from the accelerometer.
