STMicroelectronics LIS3DH Element

The LIS3DH element is used to measure acceleration. This element is for using the STMicroelectronics LIS3DH accelerometer sensor.

The LIS3DH is a sensor element that can be imported into the Element Toolbox through the Add Element button located in the toolbox from the Embedded tab.

Properties

The following properties can be changed for the LIS3DH element:

Name

The name of the element.

SPI Driver Instance

The SPI bus used to communicate with the sensor.

Chip Select Pin

The GPIO pin used to toggle the chip select pin on the accelerometer.

Triggers

The following triggers are available to execute events from within the LIS3DH element:

Triggered

Execute an event when the source element connected to the LIS3DH triggers.

X Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s x-axis value is read.

Y Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s y-axis value is read.

Z Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s z-axis value is read.

Raw X Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s raw x-axis value is read.

Raw Y Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s raw y-axis value is read.

Raw Z Acceleration Read

Execute an event when the accelerometer’s raw z-axis value is read.

Abilities

The following abilities are available for the LIS3DH element when its source element triggers:

Trigger

Trigger the element(s) that follow the LIS3DH element.

Read X Acceleration

Read the accelerometer’s x-axis data as a floating point value in Gs.

Read Y Acceleration

Read the accelerometer’s y-axis data.

Read Z Acceleration

Read the accelerometer’s z-axis data.

Read Raw X Acceleration

Read the accelerometer’s raw x-axis data as a signed 16-bit integer (int16_t).

Read Raw Y Acceleration

Read the accelerometer’s raw y-axis data.

Read Raw Z Acceleration
