Introduction

The LIS2DW12 is a low power high-performance three-axis linear accelerometer, featuring low power (50 nA), low noise (1.3 mg RMS), 32 FIFO, ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g full scale, 16-bit data output, and 1.6~1.6KHz bandwidth. The sensor comes with two independent programmable interrupts and a dedicated internal engine that can achieve various motion and acceleration detections, including free-fall, portrait/landscape detection, 6D/4D orientation detection, configurable single/double-tap recognition, stationary/motion detection, wakeup for smart power saving, etc. And for your convenience, we provide you with sample programs (in C and Python) for the above functions.
