wippersnapper has a data rate, so you could only read maybe every 15 seconds

Seconded!

Most imu applications require faster update, but there are some projects where ~15s for a couple minutes at a time is perfect (using imu to do automated leveling of jacks for example)

I was thinking it might be useful to detect end of a washer or dryer cycle, but if I need to use Circuit Python NBD

ok just making sure y'all knew :)
@brentru would probably be good to report X Y Z and the 3D vector length ('activity')

This issue is marked for Hacktoberfest 2022. If you are participating in Hacktoberfest and want to take on this issue, please first fully read through the guide for "How to add a new component to Adafruit IO WipperSnapper".

For I2C Components to work, please note that you are required to add both an I2C component definition (see this guide page for more information) to this repository and an I2C component driver (see this guide page for more information) to the WipperSnapper Firmware Repository.

This pr specifically will be difficult - it requires a new sensor type.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to tag me in the comments here, or in your pull request for review.

Happy Hackin'!
