LIS3DH is an accelerometer manufactured by ST Microelectronics. With this driver, you can use LIS3DH with Python3 over I2C.

Dependencies

Only smbus2 other than Python.

Installation

pip3 install lis3dh

Usage

From command line;

run-lis3dh

From Python script;

from lis3dh import LIS3DH, device
from time import sleep
registers = device()
lis = LIS3DH(port=1, scale=registers.CTRL_REG4.SCALE_4G, data_rate=registers.CTRL_REG1.ODR_10Hz)
data = lis.read_dummy_register()
print("DUMMY REG CHECK ERROR: " + str(data)) # 0: No Error, -1: Error
lis.enable_axes(registers.CTRL_REG1.Xen | registers.CTRL_REG1.Yen | registers.CTRL_REG1.Zen)
while lis.read_data_ready_register() == lis.ERROR:
    sleep(0.25)
data = lis.read_all_axes()
print("x(g): {}, y(g): {}, z(g): {}".format(data[0], data[1], data[2]))
