Adafruit CSI or DSI Cable Extender Thingy for Raspberry Pi to Extend Cable Length of Pi Camera or Pi Display 3671

For use with classic 15-pin 1.0 mm pitch flex cables, does not fit the Pi Zero's skinny CSI connector. For that you'll need to use an adapter first.
This Thingy is very simple, it lets you connect two 15-pin 1.0 mm pitch cables end-to-end and extend the length. It does the funky pin rearranging and all for you, so just snap those two cables in.
Product dimensions: 25.0 mm x 17.0 mm x 4.2 mm, weight: 2.5 g.
International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Adafruit LIS3DH 3-axis accelerometer (+ -2g / 4g / 8g / 16g) 2809

With added 3.3V regulator + level shifting, so you can safely use with any Arduino or microcontroller
LIS3DH is a very popular low power triple-axis accelerometer. It's low-cost, but has just about every 'extra' you'd want in an accelerometer
This sensor communicates over I2C or SPI so you can share it with a bunch of other sensors on the same I2C bus.
STEMMA QT and Qwiic compatiable

Adafruit TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer [ADA2717]

Using it is fairly straight-forward: the multiplexer itself is on I2C address 0x70 (but can be adjusted from 0x70 to 0x77) and you simply write a single byte with the desired multiplexed output number to that port, and bam - any future I2C packets will get sent to that port. In theory, you could have 8 of these multiplexers on each of 0x70-0x77 addresses in order to control 64 of the same-I2C-addressed-part.
Finally, a way to get up to 8 same-address I2C devices hooked up to one microcontroller - this multiplexer acts as a gatekeeper, shuttling the commands to the selected set of I2C pins with your command.
TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer
Like all Adafruit breakouts, we put this nice chip on a breakout for you so you can use it on a breadboard with capacitors, and pullups and pulldowns to make usage a snap. Some header is required and once soldered in you can plug it into a solderless-breadboard. The chip itself is 3V and 5V compliant so you can use it with any logic level.
