LSM6DSL: FIFO mode pattern and timestamp & temperature

Hi, I am new in Embedded software. I am doing a research and trying to extract the data from the LSM6DSL using FIFO mode. I have set the fifo, gyro, accel's ODR to 833Hz with no decimation factor.No thresholdDisable 3rd and 4th data setEnable roundi...

My LIS3DH seems broken, and the self test results are weird

Hi, I'm using the LIS3DH to detect body movement, but I'm suspecting that the accelerometer is defective as the samples do not seem reasonable (for example, when testing a single axis and turning it all around, it won't go from 1 to -1 g).I wrote a p...

LPS33W vs LPS33HW, and looking for caps

Hi,My company is starting to develop an environmental sensor and we've found the LPS33W sensor to be a nice choice. I have 3 questions surrounding this sensor.I've just found the LPS33HW, that seems to be the same sensor but launched a couple of year...

SPAD Initialization error?

Posted on January 23, 2017 at 18:28I implemented the VL53L0X API in my embedded project. while the call to DataInit works fine (or, at least returns a status OK), I am getting a VL53L0X_ERROR_REF_SPAD_INIT from StaticInit.Any ideas what this means? ...

Resolved! Motion processing feature on MEMS Hardware

@Eleon BORLINI​ Greetings of the Day Currently I am using LSM6DSM as my IMU. Now in this sensor I need to write my own function to obtain the quaternions and then based on that obtain the roll, pitch and yaw of the system. The question that I have is...

Resolved! LSM6DSL filtering chain for static gravity measurement

Hi,I want to measure a static object and approximate tilt angle with accelerometer only data.With 303AGR e-compass I can easily configure the filters so a low pass filter can be set up in no time.With LSM6DSL I am a bit lost on where or what filter I...

[LSM6DS3] unbalanced angle

Hello,I use the gyroscope of an LSM6DS3 to command the rotation of a robot. I read the different axis with a 50ms period and I use the gyro internal timestamp to get a precise timing of each sample and I integrate the angular speed using the trapezoi...
