How to use the Accelerometer on Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with CircuitPython

At the heart of every Adafruit Circuit Playground Express lies a three-axis accelerometer. This allows us to write programs that take the orientation of the board into account. We can detect orientation and acceleration on any axis. With CircuitPython we can use the “cpx.acceleration” command to read the acceleration of the board on all three axis in m/s^2.
