3-axis accelerometer LIS3DH - Qwiic

3-axis accelerometer with the LIS3DH IMU sensor. A compact Qwiic-enabled accelerometer board for measuring motion, tilt, and vibration in three axes. The board is based on the LIS3DH, which is a low-power capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution and built-in features for motion detection, orientation, and tap events. This makes it suitable for both prototypes and embedded systems.

Thanks to the Qwiic interface, the module can be connected quickly via I2C without soldering, simplifying integration in sensor chains and development environments. The sensor offers multiple measurement ranges and operating modes, enabling optimization for everything from low-power battery applications to more dynamic measurements. Built-in features such as free-fall detection, orientation recognition, and FIFO buffer provide flexibility for data acquisition and event-based logic.
