Sorry still working out how to post on forum.
My Question:
It is unclear to me which pins of the sensor need to be connected Clk. D, CE to which pins of the MAXIM board in these examples and is this using I2C or SPI communication. ??? And do they use different pins for each type of communication? This is a simple question but I have no idea how to easily navigate the code to find out and how to change the pins for same function.
Hi Clem,
Here is a hookup guide that shows you how to hook up the LIS3DH:
You should be able to use any digital pin for those connections.
I get this error when I try to compile the example code: acceldemo :

Clem,
Are you really using the Mega ADK? I thought you were using the MAXIM board. You will need to select the correct board in the Arduino IDE.
Let me know how it works out!
IDUINO MEGA it says on the board?
board model mega 2560 A3
made by IDUINO
Hi Clem,
Under Tools>Board:
select Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560
Let me know if that works.
Tried both of these ; same result.
It is compile error, not even gets to download
Board:
Arduino Mega ADK
Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560
Processor:
ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)
I have a blink sketch and it compiles and runs for both board settings?
neither board settings compile for this example code acceldemo
Hi Clem,
You can find the Library here:
You can find instructions on how to manually install a library here:
Clem,
You can’t have a “-master” in your library file and have it still recognized by Arduino IDE.
Hi,
I try to do things in an automated way when it comes to things like installing libraries because I know there are non readable files etc which I do not and cannot easily find out what they contain and what they mean and I expect that there are hidden things which are done to place information in hidden areas which I do not know.
But in desperation I have simply ripped out files and directories which I think might have caused multiple library errors and invalid library errors and I have found somewhere a file called sensors.h and I have simply copied this into the LIS3DH library folder and now it compiles and works as it advertised.
Regards
