can also power the sleep mode using the solder pad
available. This enables the device. A low signal (0) will
bring the board into sleep mode which puts it in a power
saving mode. In this state there will be no X, Y or Z
outputs on these output solder pads. For normal device
operation though the sleep mode must be in the “on”
