Instructions for Using LIS3DH

1. Power Supply:

   • Connect the VDD pin to a stable power supply within the range of 1.7V to 3.6V.
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground.

2. Configuration:

   • Use the I2C or SPI interface to configure the LIS3DH.
   • Set the desired output data rate (ODR) and full scale range (FS) via the control registers.

3. Reading Data:

   • Read the acceleration data from the output registers using the selected interface.
   • The data is provided in 16-bit format, with the most significant byte (MSB) and least significant byte (LSB).

4. Interrupts:

   • Configure interrupt pins (INT1, INT2) for event detection such as free-fall, tap, double-tap, and activity/inactivity.
   • Set the interrupt conditions and enable the interrupts via the control registers.

5. Power Management:

   • Use the power-down mode to reduce power consumption when the sensor is not in use.
   • Switch between normal and low-power modes based on the application requirements.

6. Calibration:

   • Perform calibration to ensure accurate measurements.
   • Use the self-test function to verify the functionality of the sensor.

7. Handling:

   • Avoid exposing the sensor to temperatures outside the operating range.
   • Handle the sensor with care to prevent mechanical shock or damage.
