+
+Overview
+********
+
+The `Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer Sensor Shield`_ features
+a `ST LIS3DH 3-axis accelerometer`_ and two STEMMA QT connectors.

+
+Requirements
+************
+
+This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for
+example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors.
+The target board must define a ``zephyr_i2c`` node label.
+See :ref:`shields` for more details.
+
+
+Pin Assignments
+===============
+
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| Shield Pin   | Function                                             |
++==============+======================================================+
+| SDA          | LIS3DH I2C SDA                                       |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| SCL          | LIS3DH I2C SCL                                       |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| INT          | LIS3DH Interrupt out                                 |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| SDO          | LIS3DH I2C address selection. Pull down by default.  |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| CS           | LIS3DH Force I2C mode by setting it to high level.   |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| I2           | LIS3DH Second interrupt out                          |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| A1-A3        | LIS3DH Analog-to-digital converter inputs. Not used. |
++--------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+In order to use interrupts you need to connect a separate wire from the
+shield to a GPIO pin on your microcontroller board. See
+:dtcompatible:`st,lis3dh` for documentation on how to adjust the
+devicetree file.
+
+
+Programming
+***********
+
+Set ``--shield adafruit_lis3dh`` when you invoke ``west build``. For example
+when running the :zephyr:code-sample:`accel_polling` sample:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/accel_polling
+   :board: adafruit_qt_py_rp2040
+   :shield: adafruit_lis3dh
+   :goals: build
