I have a B-L475E-IOT01A board where I am trying to read the Acceleration sensor values from and send them to the PC. I followed this example: file:///C:/Users/nrahardja/Downloads/en.STM32-Education_step4%20(2).pdf. However, the rate at which the data is being sent to my PC is very slow only about 100 values a second, whereas the ODR for the LSM6DL sensor is set to 6670 HZ. My suspicion is that the UART_HAL_TRANSMIT function is too slow compared to the ODR of the sensor.
Furthermore, when sending the data once in every 10 lines or so, an extra new line is sent at random (I have attached a picture of this problem).
The code was generated using CubeMX and I have added my code below. What can I do to improve the transmission rate to match the ODR of the sensor and to remove the additional new lines?
