I use the LIS3MDL Sensor: When I power the sensor and request via SPI the WHOAMI Register, the first answer is not equal to the default answer. When I send another byte to read the Register afterwards I get the default answer. Why is that so?

 data[0]=0B10001111; data[1]=0B00000000;data[3]=0B00000000; //this is not needed but i get the default answer here   SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings(100000, MSBFIRST, SPI_MODE3));   digitalWrite(10, LOW);   delay(10);   for (size_t i = 0; i < datale...

I am using the ISM330 for measuring Acceleration and Gyro data. Both are set to ODR=416Hz. The FIFO is used in Continues Mode with an ODR=416Hz. The Problem is, that sometimes the data in the FIFO seems to be shifted.

Is there a Problem when the Sensor is sampling and doing a i2c communication(reading the FIFO) in parallel?I saw that, that the FIFO gets shifted(or data is overwritten) a few times during collecting data.Can someone help me please?Best Regards,Chris...

220nF capacitor ESR LSM303AGR

It is stated that the 220nF capacitor should have a ESR smaller than 200mOHm. At what frequency is this rated? not sure what frequency the LSM is switching this capacitor. I had a look at the EVAL MKI72V1, but that one has an error in the BOM. Any su...
