Support for LIS2DH12 accelerometer

[daniel-frenkel]

Describe the component you'd like

ST LIS2DH12 3-axis accelerometer

What are your use cases for this component?

This particular accelerometer is very low cost, significantly less than the MPU-6050, and widely available on JLCPCB. It can be used in all kinds of ways, like detecting motion of a device, controlling via tap/shake, and creating orientation based devices, such as a light switch that turns off when flipped upside down.

Is there a public datasheet, documentation and/or schematics?

Anything else?

Espressif already has a component library for it, which should make it much faster to implement.
