    BHI260AP Vertical Mounting

    BHI260AP Vertical Mounting

    We are performing some tests on the BHI260AP shuttle board and driving it using the provided driver on GitHub repo on our custom MCU board: https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BHY2-Sensor-API

    In our application we require to mount the sensor vertically; however, using the available remapping function for physical acc/gyro sensors as follows:

    orient_matrix.c[0] = 0; orient_matrix.c[1] = -1; orient_matrix.c[2] = 0;
    orient_matrix.c[3] = 0; orient_matrix.c[4] = 0; orient_matrix.c[5] = -1;
    orient_matrix.c[6] = 1; orient_matrix.c[7] = 0; orient_matrix.c[8] = 0;

    rslt += bhy2_set_orientation_matrix(1, orient_matrix, &bhy2);
    rslt += bhy2_set_orientation_matrix(3, orient_matrix, &bhy2);

    leads to incorrect values for virtual sensors: BHY2_SENSOR_ID_ACCBHY2_SENSOR_ID_GYRO, and BHY2_SENSOR_ID_GAMERV. It passes those two functions without error though.

    Mounting the sensor in either of the 8 orientations shown in Figure 35 of the datasheet provides expected values.  Hence, I was wondering if our vertical axes remapping was wrong or if vertical mounting is not possible with this sensor at all !!!!

    Update:

    Thanks to the BoschSensortec developer team for consideration, this problem has been resolved in the latest version of the API (1.4.1)
