## Description

The Adafruit LIS3DH is a popular, low-power triple-axis accelerometer breakout packed with features typically found only on higher-end sensors. With selectable measurement ranges, multiple interface options, and built-in motion detection, it's one of the most versatile accelerometers available at this price point. This breakout includes an onboard 3.3 V regulator and level shifting, so it works safely with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems — no external level shifter needed. It communicates over I2C or SPI, with an address selection pin allowing two sensors on the same I2C bus. Key Features Triple-Axis Sensing – 10-bit precision across X, Y, and Z axes Selectable Range – ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g measurement scaling Dual Interface – I2C (two possible addresses) and SPI support Ultra-Low Power – As low as 2 µA current draw from the chip Configurable Data Rates – From 1 Hz to 5 kHz Built-in Detection – Tap, double-tap, orientation, and freefall events via interrupt output 3 Additional ADC Inputs – Readable over I2C for extra analogue sensing 3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – Onboard regulator and level shifting for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Feather, and more Ideal For Motion and orientation sensing projects Tap and gesture detection Wearable electronics and activity tracking Freefall and impact detection systems Package Contents 1× Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer Breakout (assembled and tested) 1× Strip of 0.1" header pins Resources LIS3DH Accelerometer Tutorial – Pinouts, Assembly & Wiring
