/**!
 * @file orientation.ino
 * @brief When detecting the orientation of the module, the sensor can detect the following six events:
 * @n Positive z-axis is facing up
 * @n Positive z-axis is facing down
 * @n Positive y-axis is facing up
 * @n Positive y-axis is facing down
 * @n Positive x-axis is facing up
 * @n Positive x-axis is facing down
 * @n When using SPI, chip select pin can be modified by changing the value of macro LIS2DW12_CS
