lsm6dso 6d/4d orientation

[Varsha]

Is it necessary to enable Free Fall detection in order to detect orientation changes? What role does Free Fall (FF) play in this context? Additionally, is there a way to set a threshold force for detecting orientation changes, such as when the IMU is rotated left or right with a certain force, triggering an interrupt?
And also can you share the code of 6d detection for lsm6dso

Hi @Varsha ,

You can refer to this example.

Hope this helps 🙂

@Federica Bossi Thank you for the example. 
Why are we generating interrupt on freefall? instead of six_d for orientation detection? is there any specific reason?

>Why are we generating interrupt on freefall?

This is/was for protecting things like a laptop with hard drive, bringing the drive heads to a save position, as soon as freefall begins, to have better chance to save it at the hard "landing" then.

So if you dont need it for protection at free fall, no need to use it.

You can use the six_d, it could be better. Thanks for notice!
