I've been able to configure a MMA8652FC 3-Axis accelerometer to generate interrupts on free-fall events by playing with both FF_MT_CFG and FF_MT_THS registers. After this experience, I'd like the sensor to generate an interrupt when motion is detected. I'm thinking in detecting usual movements like taking an object from a table "in a natural way", but even when setting FF_MT_THS (detection threshold) to a minimum value the interrupt is only generated with fast movements. This is maybe why this functionality is called free-fall/motion detection...
Can I really use the MMA8652FC to detect slower movements in an interrupt-generation basis?
Thanks again.
Daniel.
I reply myself: pulse events can be used with low thresholds to detect simple movements.
