Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer (LIS3DHTR)

pir

Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer(LIS3DHTR) is a low-cost 3 - Axis accelerometer in a bundle of Grove products. It is based on the LIS3DHTR chip which provides multiple ranges and interfaces selection. You can never believe that such a tiny 3 - Axis accelerometer can support I2C, SPI, and ADC GPIO interfaces, which means you can choose any way to connect with your development board. Besides, this accelerometer can also monitor the surrounding temperature to tune the error caused by it.

Features

Measurement range: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g, multiple ranges selection.
Multiple interfaces option: Grove I2C interface, SPI interface, ADC interface.
Temperature adjustable: able to adjust and tune the error caused by temperature.
3/5V power supply.

}

Step 1 Download the library from Github and add the "zip" library to your Arduino IDE. Please refer to How to install an Arduino Library.

Step 2 Find the example code of "LIS3DHTR_IIC" and upload it to your board. Please refer to How to upload code.

Step 3 After uploading the code, you will see the accelerated velocity of each axis and temperature of surrounding from the serial monitor.
