Hi, I would like to know if there is any usable sample for SWAN board wake on motion with LSM6DSOX accelerometer.

Regards

Hey @iarakis,

I don’t have specific code for the LSM6DSOX accelerometer, but the Notecard itself has an onboard accelerometer that you can use to put a host like the Swan to sleep.

Here’s the request you need if you want to try it out. You’ll also need to write the Notecard’s `ATTN` pin to the Swan’s `EN` pin.

```json
{
  "req": "card.attn",
  "mode": "arm,motion"
}

```

Yes, I know there is an accelerometer in Notecard. However, my application is structural monitoring and I think I need a higher sensitivity for wakeup detection.
