Breakout board for the 3 axis LIS3LV02DQ accelerometer from ST Micro. Please view the datasheet for this impressive sensor! With a digital interface (SPI or I2C), the user only has to initiate commands to get 1mg resolution! Independent channels can be shut off, the sensor can be powered down, even an interrupt threshold can be set and used to awaken the sensor from power down! Selectable ranges are available for +/-2g and 6g. This sensor is one of the first with triple axis and an easy to use digital interface. Board comes fully assembled and tested with external decoupling caps.

We were thoroughly impressed with the flexibility and precision of this sensor. This is a great sensor to play with if you need triple axis accelerations in digital form and you don't want to deal with analog conversions or filtering.

Dimensions: 21x23mm (0.8x0.9")

Interface: The LIS3LV02DQ is a 3.3V part and outputs SPI or I2C digital. This can be interfaced to any micro with or without built-in SPI or I2C support. Fake it in firmware! See example code.
