Reading data from the accelerometer using I2C

This recipe will show you how to connect to the onboard accelerometer using the I2C protocol. Once we have an I2C object, we will use the Python adafruit_lis3dh library to create a LIS3DH_I2C object. This object will let us read live sensor data from the accelerometer. This recipe will help you whenever you want to create a project that uses board's orientation to create an interactive experience. You could, for example, create a project that reacts to the board being shaken by changing the image that's currently being displayed.

Getting ready

You will need access to the REPL on the Adafruit HalloWing device to run the code presented in this recipe.
