This accelerometer has a few nifty features built-in too. It has interrupts for motion in each axis, double-tap detection, and freefall detection. This built-in support means that you can detect each of these types of motion with a single line of code, rather than having to code a whole function yourself.
The MSA301 3DoF breakout has an I2C interface and is 3.3V or 5V compatible. It is designed so that you can solder a piece of right-angle header onto it and then pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9).
It's also compatible with Breakout Garden, where using breakouts is as easy as just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.
Pimoroni have put together a Python library that you can use to read data from your MSA301 3DoF Breakout, and an easy one-line installer to install everything.
Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.
