Example Code for Arduino-Read Acceleration

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• H3LIS200DL Triple Axis Accelerometer x1
• Jumper wires

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• Download and install the LIS Series Library and Sample Code. (About how to install the library?)

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

• Select getAcceleration.ino from the library examples.
• Ensure the I2C address is correctly set (0x18 or 0x19) via the toggle switch on the module.

Sample Code

 * @file getAcceleration.ino
 * @brief Get the acceleration in the three directions of xyz, the range can be ±100g or ±200g
 * @n When using SPI, chip select pin can be modified by changing the value of macro H3LIS200DL_CS
