    BHI160b Read out fifo

    BHI160b Read out fifo

    Hello there,

    i connected the BHI160b with my STM32F411RE Mikrocontroller. I implemented the HAL I2C library with the BHI160b library to  read out Gyro data continuously. I used the rotation_vector_example on Github and installed the Game_rotation_vector to get quaternions. When the interrupt of the BHI160b fires, i am reading out the data! This works very good! But now i implemented a start Trigger which is between 1-15 hz. So im not reading every data from the fifo, when there is new data available. The problem i face now is that the quaternions are kind of delayed, when i start to move the sensor. How can i configure the BHI160b or change my programm to get the actuall Rotation data wich a frequency of 1-15hz ? The following shows my main loop code!

    Hi Sir:

         Please see the following picture which was from BHI160 datesheet:

         Jet_0-1619167346868.png

         In fact, Game_rotation_vector is got via BSX sensor fusion library which has been intergrated into BHI160 rom. When you enable virtual sensor, because the sample rate of enable function is uint type, so 12.5Hz  which is for special mode can't be set,the smallest sample rate is 25Hz.

        So recommend you to set a higher sample rate and have to read out all fifo data after interrupt trigger, and then select a downsampling way in host to get the data you need.

        Meanwhile, the high sample rate will decrease the latency.

    Hi Sir:

         I took some tests to observe the timestamp interval after change Game_rotation_vector sample rate, actually ,the internal 10 /20 /40 /80 /160 /320 /640ms can be got, it means the actual output sample rate is 100 /50 /25 /12.5 /6.25/3.125 /1.562Hz.

         If you set sample rate between two actual sample rate, the output frequence is bigger sample rate. For example, set sample rate is 15, it is between 25hz and 12.5hz, the actual output frequence will be 25hz, the interval will be 40ms, and set 10, the actual output frequence will be 12.5hz, the interval will be 80ms.

         Recommend you to have a try to see whether to satisfied your requirement.

        If not meet, downsampling way need be considered.
