We evaluated a MKI209V1 Dev Kit using the Unico-GUI software and now I want to talk to it directly from a PC (still using the Dev Kit). I found the Unico-Lite Example software. Any examples of talking to MKI209V1 from Unico-Lite, or any C# examples?

Hi @ATorborg​ ,

yes, you can use the commands described in the Unico GUI lite software user manual, that can be send via VCOM and can be managed by an high-level software in an automatized routine.

For example:

*rAA // For reading accelerometer data
*grAA // For reading gyroscope data
*mrAA // For reading magnetometer data
*prAA // For reading barometer data

After the command is sent, the board replies with the register value: an example of the string format is “RAAhVVh�?, where AA is the address and VV is the value.

Can it be enough for your scope?

Hi Elean - Thanks for the reply. For starters, if I add the MK1209V1, what does I use for the "words" and "dbset" values? Thanks,Alan

Hi @ATorborg​ ,

since the MKI209V1 device is an accelerometer, the suitable commands are the ones related to accelerometer sensor.

For completeness, you can find the list of supported command in Table 2 and Table 3 of the user manual UM2116, p.12.

*setdb209V1 // recognize the proper adapter
[ *r0F // read WHO_AM_I register
*w1060 // write ODR 104Hz, FS 2g and NM operationg mode in CTRL1_XL (10h)]
*start //run continuous data acquisition
