## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0409:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN0409:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The LIS2DW12 is an ultra-low-power high-performance three-axis linear accelerometer. It has user-selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and is capable of measuring accelerations with output data rates from 1.6 Hz to 1600 Hz.

The sensor comes with two independent programmable interrupts and a dedicated internal engine that can achieve various motion and acceleration detection including free-fall, portrait/landscape detection, 6D/4D orientation detection, configurable single/double-tap recognition, stationary/motion detection, wake-up for smart power saving, etc. And for your convenience, we provide you with sample programs for the above functions.
