+Digilent Pmod ACL
+#################
+
+Overview
+********
+
+The Digilent Pmod ACL is a 3-axis digital accelerometer module powered by the
+Analog Devices ADXL345.
+
+Programming
+***********
+
+Set ``--shield pmod_acl`` when you invoke ``west build``. For example:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/sensor_shell
+   :board: apard32690/max32690/m4
+   :shield: pmod_acl
+   :goals: build
+
+Requirements
+************
+
+This shield can only be used with a board which provides a configuration
+for Pmod connectors and defines node aliases for SPI and GPIO interfaces
+(see :ref:`shields` for more details).
