Product description: Gravity - LIS2DW12 - 3-axis accelerometer ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g - I2C - DFRobot SEN0409
Gravity module in a form of 3-axis accelerometer, which allows to measure linear acceleration. It has a built-in LIS2DW12 chip (belonging to the popular LIS series) and is powered by a voltage in the range of 3.3 V to 5 V. Additionally, the sensor from DFRobot has the ability to measure acceleration in the range of ± 2 g / ± 4 g / ± 8 g / ± 16 g. The measurement frequency ranges from 1.6 Hz to 1600 Hz.
Suggested application
- Free fall detection
- Activity detection and recording
- Single/double touch detection
- Self-balancing robot
- Aircraft
- Human Activity Detection
- 6D / 4D orientation detection
Gravity - LIS2DW12 - 3-axis accelerometer included with dedicated connection cable.

A detailed user guide is available on the manufacturer's website, which makes getting started with the module much easier. There are also libraries for the various development environments available for download on GitHub.
What is accelerometer? What is it used for?
Accelerometer is a sensor that allows to determine selected body parameters. We're talking about acceleration measurement (in three axes), so the term accelerometer is used interchangeably. Accelerometer is a transducer that measures linear acceleration, that is, it measures its own motion. Not sure where an accelerometer is used? It's easy - you can even find one in your mobile phone.
