Adafruit CircuitPython module for the LIS3DH accelerometer.
Note this module is made to work with CircuitPython and not MicroPython APIs.
Usage Example
See the guide at: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-hardware-lis3dh-accelerometer
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>_.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh/>_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh
