print "Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer found on I2C Bus"
else:
print "Grove - 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer not found"
For more details on I2C API, please see here.
To drive an I2C device, you need to operate multiple I2C sequences. LinkIt Smart 7688 also
comes with libUPM pre-installed, which is a set of driver repository built upon libmraa.

SPI
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) can also be used to control peripheral devices. On LinkIt
Smart 7688 it consists of 4 pins:
SPI_CS1(P25).
and
It's important to note that the SPI device is also used for communicating with the internal
flash storage on the board. Therefore, developers should access the SPI functionality
through SPI modules only and avoid treating these SPI pins as general GPIO. Otherwise,
the flash storage may work incorrectly.
The SPI module in libmraa is initialized by device index, instead of pin number.
import mraa
spi = mraa.Spi(0)
The SPI protocol allows flexible configurations on signal patterns. Depending on your
peripheral, you may need to configure the pattern with APIs like
