    BMI160 Movement detect help

    BMI160 Movement detect help

    I am using a BMI160.  Normal usage will have the unit "somewhat" horizontal and I would like an interrupt if the unit is moving "too much".  I'd like to be able to program the tolerance of what "too much" means.

    Right now, I am just using the interrupt in register 0x50.

    uint8_t intReg = 0x87;
    bmi160_set_regs( BMI160_INT_ENABLE_0_ADDR, &intReg, 1, &motionSensor );
    intReg = 0x07;
    bmi160_set_regs( BMI160_INT_ENABLE_2_ADDR, &intReg, 1, &motionSensor );
    intReg = 0x07;
    bmi160_set_regs( BMI160_INT_MOTION_3_ADDR, &intReg, 1, &motionSensor );

    My issue is that "any motion" triggers the interrupt. Even typing on my keyboard will trigger is if the unit is sittingon the same desk.  Can someone help me configre this part so it is less sensitive?  I would like to be able to move it a little bit like it can be resting on somoene laying down and not interrupt due to movement from breathing.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    my Init code is attached. Unable to attched so pasted here:

    Thanks

    Hello,

    There was BMI160 any-motion example on github, you could refer and run it.

    https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BMI160_driver

    Thank you for your reply.   The code you point to is indeed useful but I am already using it and as I mention above, the interrupt intterups for ANY motion.  I was wondering if there was a way to set a threashold?

    Thanks again,

    -Ed

    Hi elandau1260

    There are also some other interrupts available for BMI160. You can find them on pg 4 of the datasheet. Maybe it is also useful for you the Significant Motion interrupt and the  Slow Motion alert.

    By the way the Any Motion and Significant motion interrupts have a thershold that you can to set. I will share my configuration for both interrupts that might be usefull for you.
