MMA8452Q INT1 staying high

[johnmunroe]

Hi

I'm using the MMA8452Q in one of my Arduino projects. The issue I'm facing is that INT1 stays high when I don't think it's supposed to.

According to S5.9 of the datasheet:

"If the event flag is asserted because the event condition is detected, the corresponding interrupt pin, INT1 or INT2, will assert."

So, my understanding is that INT1 should be asserted only when an event condition is satisfied and it is cleared when the relevant register is read. However, even having read the registers and bits in INT_SRC are cleared, INT1 is still asserted.

I have attached my library and sketch code below.

Thanks for any help in advance.

SFE_MMA8452Q Library Basic Example Sketch
Jim Lindblom @ SparkFun Electronics
Original Creation Date: June 3, 2014
https://github.com/sparkfun/MMA8452_Accelerometer
This sketch uses the SFE_MMA8452Q library to initialize the
accelerometer, and stream values from it.
Hardware hookup:
  Arduino --------------- MMA8452Q Breakout
    3.3V  ---------------     3.3V
    GND   ---------------     GND
  SDA (A4) --\/330 Ohm\/--    SDA
  SCL (A5) --\/330 Ohm\/--    SCL
The MMA8452Q is a 3.3V max sensor, so you'll need to do some 
level-shifting between the Arduino and the breakout. Series
resistors on the SDA and SCL lines should do the trick.

Hi John,

The code below is pretty complex and it is not obvious which event is selected to generate an interrupt and how the corresponding interrupt pin is configured and managed. Hence, let me answer in more detail.

Both interrupt pins can be configured to be push-pull or open drain and can be either active high or active low. This is done in the CTRL_REG3 (0x2C). Bit 0 (PP_OD) sets the configuration of the interrupt pins to be open drain or push-pull and bit 1 (IPOL) sets the polarity, either active high or active low. The default configuration is push-pull (PP_OD = 0) and active low (IPOL = 0).

Interrupts are enabled by setting the appropriate bit in the CTRL_REG4 register (0x2D) and are mapped to either the INT1 or INT2 pin based on the contents of the CTRL_REG5 register (0x2E). By default all interrupts are routed to the INT2 pin!

To clear an event-specific status bit in the INT_SOURCE register and consenquently deassert the corresponding interrupt pin, it is necessary to read an event-specific register (e.g. FF_MT_SRC, TRANSIENT_SRC, PULSE_SRC).

I hope it helps.

This doesn't actually seem to work.  I have now spent hours trying to get a specific interrupt to occur more than once.  Can you please post a working example?  There doesn't appear to be one anywhere and the app notes related to interrupts for this part don't actually appear to work as written.

Thank you

This post is quite old, but...

Any updates or insights on this matter? I am facing the same issue and reading the register does not change anything.

accel.readRegister(PULSE_SRC);
accel.readRegister(INT_SOURCE);
