Generic 3-Axis accelerometer polling sample

Overview

This sample application demonstrates how to use 3-Axis accelerometers.

Building and Running

This sample supports up to 10 3-Axis accelerometers. Each accelerometer needs to be aliased as accelN where N goes from 0 to 9. For example:

/ {
      aliases {
                      accel0 = &lis2dh;
              };
      };

Make sure the aliases are in devicetree, then build and run with:

west build -b <board to use> samples/sensor/accel_polling
west flash
