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/CE08705:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Measure motion with the PiicoDev® 3-Axis Accelerometer! Use great pre-written examples to measure tilt-angle, tapping and shaking. The on-board LIS3DH can measure 16-bit acceleration data in ranges from 2*g* to 16*g* in all 3 axes. By using PiicoDev adapters and cables, you can connect to this sensor without soldering - or use the standard breakout header if you prefer breadboard prototyping. Whichever you prefer, the getting-started [guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-three-axis-accelerometer-lis3dh-getting-started-guide) will help you get started programming this sensor in MicroPython with your favourite development platform. **Features** - Measures acceleration and tilt - Detect tapping, double-taps, and shaking - Great guide to get you started - PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only) - 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping - Manufactured and [supported](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) in Australia by Core Electronics **Getting Started Guides** We've prepared a [getting-started guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-three-axis-accelerometer-lis3dh-getting-started-guide) that works with Raspberry Pi, Pico, and Micro:bit. **Technical Specifications** - Address: 0x19 (ASW:OFF, default) or 0x18 (ASW:ON) - 3-axis, 16-bit precision per channel - Range: 2, 4, 8 or 16*g* - Dimensions: 25.4x25.4mm - Mounting Holes: 2x M2.5 **Resources** - [Hardware Repo](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Accelerometer-3-Axis-LIS3DH) - [Schematic](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Accelerometer-3-Axis-LIS3DH/raw/main/Documents/schematic.pdf) - [Datasheet: LIS3DH](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Accelerometer-3-Axis-LIS3DH/raw/main/Documents/LIS3DH%20datasheet.pdf) - [LIS3DH Application Note](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Accelerometer-3-Axis-LIS3DH/raw/main/Documents/LIS3DH%20application%20note.pdf) - [Example code](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Accelerometer-LIS3DH-MicroPython-Module) - [Mounting Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/piicodev-mounting-guide.html) Also available are [PiicoDev Starter Kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1322) - level up your projects by learning how to use a wide range of modern sensors and outputs. ![PiicoDev 3 Axis Accelerometer](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/aw_rbslider/slides/PiicoDev-3-Axis-Accelerometer.jpg) **PiicoDev Overview** [PiicoDev](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html) is a [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/skin/frontend/white/default/images/ce_original_blue.png)](https://core-electronics.com.au/original) ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education.
