Accelerometer LIS3L06AL Example for evk1101 Documentation

Introduction

This is the documentation for the data structures, functions, variables, defines, enums, and typedefs for the lis3l06al accelerometer driver.
This documentation is also bundled with an example that covers various uses of this accelerometer driver.

Operating mode:

• Plug the USART1 of the EVK1101 to a PC serial port (see the section Configuration Information for details on the PC terminal settings)
• Flip the EVK1101 over to the left or right and see the axis values change on your PC terminal with extra messages "left" or "right" and angles information
• Flip the EVK1101 forward or backward and see the axis values change on your PC terminal with extra messages "up" or "down" and angles information
• Give a sudden acceleration in the movement of the board and you'll get a special message on the USART1...
