  BuiltByTyler Sensor Kit - S05 ACCEL 3-AXIS (ADXL345)
  Board: ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKit V1 (30-pin), Arduino-ESP32 core 3.x, "ESP32 Dev Module"

  Prints X, Y and Z acceleration in g, 5 times a second.
  Flat on the table you should see about z=1.00 g (that's gravity).
  I2C address 0x53. INT is optional (tap / free-fall) and not used here.

  Wiring (module pin -> ESP32 pin):
    GND  -> GND
    VCC  -> 3V3
    SDA  -> GPIO 21
    SCL  -> GPIO 22
    INT  -> GPIO 4

  Library: "Adafruit ADXL345" (also installs "Adafruit Unified Sensor") (Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries)
  Serial Monitor: 115200 baud
