BMA456 Accelerometer measurement + other features

[VMark]

Hi, I'm trying to write a code where I can read the acceleromation data and use an additional feature like "Tap" or " StepCounter" at the same time.

Is it possible?

I used the examples of the hearables in COINES.

I tried to use the accelerometer example as the base and added the step counter funcionality as an additonal but it isn't working well.

If I enable the step counter feature then the output data rate is decreasing of the acceleromator values.

It works with any/no motion and accelerometer data. So I thought it would be also working with other features.

Best regards.

Hi VMark,

Yes, it is possible.
If your end product is a wearable device such as a watch, you can use the BMA456W version of the sensor API and COINES example.
If your end product headphones, you can use the BMA456H version of the sensor API and COINES example.
The latest COINES v2.8.8 installation directory has already demonstrated examples of reading BMA456 raw data, step counter, and tap. You can refer to them directly.
