    BMI160 Significant Motion Interrupt with FIFO

    BMI160 Significant Motion Interrupt with FIFO

    I'm trying to understand how to configure the BMI160 so that I can read the FIFO when a significant motion interrupt occurs.  Here is how I have the BM160 configured at the moment. After the initial setup I'm not sure how to go about configuring the FIFO so that it has accelerometer data.

    Also, I setup both interrupt pins since they are connected to an OR gate on my hardware and I need both of them to set to active high.  

    Note: I'm using this API https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BMI160_driver

    /* Select the Output data rate, range of accelerometer sensor */
    dev->accel_cfg.odr = BMI160_ACCEL_ODR_100HZ;
    dev->accel_cfg.bw = BMI160_ACCEL_BW_NORMAL_AVG4;

    /* Select the power mode of accelerometer sensor */
    dev->accel_cfg.power = BMI160_ACCEL_NORMAL_MODE;

    /* Select the Output data rate, range of Gyroscope sensor */
    dev->gyro_cfg.odr = BMI160_GYRO_ODR_100HZ;

    dev->gyro_cfg.bw = BMI160_GYRO_BW_NORMAL_MODE;

    dev->gyro_cfg.power = BMI160_GYRO_SUSPEND_MODE;

    int8_t result = bmi160_set_sens_conf(dev);

    int_config.int_type_cfg.acc_any_motion_int.anymotion_en = BMI160_DISABLE; // 1- Enable the any-motion, 0- disable any-motion

    In your code you disable the any-motion interrupt mapping to the pin. I believe this is an error.

     

    The rest looks good.

    INT1 : Any-motion

    INT2: Significant Motion

     

    What you most likely want is to enable the Accelerometer data in the FIFO in STREAM mode, so upon overflow, the oldest data is overwritten. When you get an interrupt, you can then read the most recent last 1kB of accelerometer data.
