Hi,
We are currently almost in the production phase and have some problems concerning the BHI160B in combination with nRF52832 (running zephyr).
Our application has two main states. During the normal state we are using the activity recognition only for detecting the activity of the user. Our product is worn on the wrist and we've noticed that the activity recognition is not really accurate, most of the time it is not even recognized when a user is in a vehicle. Is there a way to improve these results? Implementation:
result |= bhy_enable_virtual_sensor(VS_TYPE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION, VS_WAKEUP, 1, 0, VS_FLUSH_NONE, 0, 0);
result |= bhy_install_sensor_callback(VS_TYPE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION, VS_WAKEUP, sensors_callback_activity_recognition);
In the second state we only use the pick-up and significant motion to detect if the device is picked up and worn again. All other sensors of the BHI160B are disabled and uninstalled in this state. However the current consumption is still really high ~500uA. After disabling the gesture recognition, current consumption is only ~40uA, see attachments. 460uA seems to be a lot when only using the gesture recognition, is there a way to improve this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sir:
It is better to contact the local FAE to get more support.
According to what you said, BHI160B fw need be update. Currently sadly are unable to support and share it directly within the community.

Hi Sir:
Could you tell what version of BHI160B fw you used?
Sadly are unable to share New BHI160B fw within the community.
Where are you from? Could you contact the local FAE of BOSCH Sensortec?

Hi,
I am currently using the following firmware file:
Bosch_PCB_7183_di03_BMI160-7183_di03.2.1.11696_170103.h
Thought this was the latest version, but it is not?
Ill try to contact my local FAE again but would still like to know if this is the correct version to use.
