Hello Naue,

Firstly the L3GD20 FIFO has 16-bit data stored rather than 10-bit data in accelerometers. Secondly, the L3GD20 FIFO has one more trigger mode which is bypass-to-stream mode. Thirdly, the L3GD20 FIFO can give FIFO empty interrupt. For more information, please visit

Thank you, Thiago Reis

Hello, 

Iwant to use the L3G4200D in FIFO mode and get the interrupt 2 with a configurable watermark. This is my config:  //set ODR (turn ON device)  if(L3G4200D_SetODR(L3G4200D_ODR_100Hz_BW_12_5) == FALSE)  return FALSE; //set PowerMode   if(L3G4200D_SetMode(L3G4200D_NORMAL) == FALSE) return FALSE; //set fullscale  if(L3G4200D_SetFullScale(FULLSCALE_250)== FALSE)  return FALSE;   //set axis Enable  if(L3G4200D_SetAxis(X_ENABLE | Y_ENABLE | Z_ENABLE)== FALSE) return FALSE;   //set watermark   if(L3G4200D_SetWaterMark(20)== FALSE) return FALSE;   //FIFO configuration if(L3G4200D_FIFOModeEnable(FIFO_MODE)== FALSE) return FALSE;  //enable watermark interrupt on interrupt2  //when the fifo contains more than 32 elements, the interrupt raises    if(L3G4200D_SetInt2Pin(WTM_ON_INT2_ENABLE)== FALSE) return FALSE; //interrupt pin mode configuration: PUSH_PULL or OPEN_DRAIN  if(L3G4200D_SetIntPinMode(PUSH_PULL)== FALSE)  return FALSE;//   //configure interrupt 1  if(L3G4200D_SetInt1Pin(I1_ON_PIN_INT1_DISABLE)== FALSE) return FALSE;   //X and Y high threshold interrutps  if(L3G4200D_SetIntConfiguration(INT1_OR | INT1_ZHIE_DISABLE | INT1_XHIE_DISABLE)== FALSE) return FALSE;   //interrupt latch disable  if(L3G4200D_Int1LatchEnable(L3G4200D_MEMS_DISABLE)== FALSE) return FALSE; I never receive the interrupt 2 (FIFO Interrupt), is there any configuration missing ?
