Posted on May 16, 2013 at 23:25Hi,
i'm reading the sensors on my STM32F3-discovery, and i've found out the reading arequite ''jumpy''. That means gyro and magnetometer value have consistent change (>1024) aven when the board is static. notice that accelerometer reading are fine.
gyro and accelerometer are in sigle reading, and i chek the data ready bit (ZYXDA for gyro and acc, DRDY for magne) is set. BTW it still give me strange update frequency for sensor, like this bit is almost always set...
I'm writing the reading over USB as audio USB card. here the output:

and a peace of code, the part for gyro reding:
[code]
uint8_t Gyro_ReadAngRate (uint16_t* pfData)
{
uint8_t tmpreg;
L3GD20_Read(&tmpreg,L3GD20_STATUS_REG_ADDR,1);
if (!(tmpreg & 0x08)){ //no data ready!
return 0;
}
int i =0;
L3GD20_Read(buffer,L3GD20_OUT_X_L_ADDR,6);
for(i=0; i<3; i++)
{
pfData[i]=(int16_t)(((uint16_t)buffer[2*i+1] <<
😎 + buffer[2*i]);
}
return 1;
}
[/code]
