Hi, would there be some software or even physical solution to only use one of the axis as input instead of all three?
There doesn’t appear to be a setting on these that allows you to turn off an axis. You’d need to [modify the firmware to add that feature if you wanted to add that ability.](Wake_on_shake/Firmware/Wake-on-Shake_Firmware at master · sparkfun/Wake_on_shake · GitHub)
