Odd behaviour with F_STATUS register FXOS8700C

Hello,

When using the FXOS in FIFO mode the FIFO is read out when a watermark interrupt is set. The issue that I am seeing is the register indicates a watermark interrupt 0x54 but after reading the first three samples (0x01 - 0x06) the auto increment goes back to 0x00 and this time the F_STATUS reads 0xFF other values seen in the same read are 0x08, 0x0D as well as others.

screenshot.pngUnless I am misreading the data something seems wrong here, The F_STATUS register is not reading anything intelligible after its first read and the data from the XYZ axis should be 0g, 0g and 1g but instead I am seeing:

X - 0x0000, 0xF8FF...

Y - 0xFFBC, 0xE40F...

Z - 0x0FA0, 0xC400...

of which only the first value makes any sense any help with this issue would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

K

Hello Kas,

See my answer in your another thread - FXOS8700 data appears very noisy

Hello Kas,

Could you please post here your complete source code so I can review it and reproduce your settings?

Meanwhile, I would recommend you to take a look at our AN4073 including several code examples.

Regards,

Tomas
