Adafruit LIS3DH Shield
######################

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
