Example Code for Raspberry Pi-Read Acceleration

Hardware Preparation

• Raspberry Pi 4B(or similar) x 1
• H3LIS200DL Triple Axis Accelerometer x1
• Jumper wires x1

Software Preparation

• Raspberry Pi Official OS
• Download and install the LIS Series Python Library.

Wiring Diagram

• Connect the module to the Raspberry Pi according to the connection diagram. The default I2C address is 0x19.

Other Preparation Work

1. Enable the I2C interface of the Raspberry Pi:

   sudo raspi-config
   

   Select "5 Interfacing Options" → "P5 I2C" → "YES", then restart.
2. Install dependencies:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-smbus git
   

3. Download the library:

   cd Desktop
   git clone https://github.com/DFRobot/DFRobot_LIS
   

4. Navigate to the sample code directory:

   cd DFRobot_LIS/python/raspberrypi/examples/H3LIS200DL/get_acceleration
   

Sample Code

Run the sample code:

python get_acceleration.py

Result

Shake the sensor, and the acceleration values in x, y, z directions will be printed on the terminal.

If you see an error about I2C address, check if the I2C address is set correctly (0x18 or 0x19) via the toggle switch.
