    BMX160 RETURNS 0

    BMX160 RETURNS 0

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to read data from the BMX160 sensor. I used the driver for the BMI160 sensor as I read that it is compatible.

    I changed the CHIP_ID to 0xD8 and also I scanned the I2C address (which is 0x68). However, the return values for accel and gyro are zero.

    Do I miss something?

    This is the code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include "boards.h"
    #include "app_util_platform.h"
    #include "app_error.h"
    #include "nrf_drv_twi.h"
    #include "nrf_delay.h"
    
    
    #include "nrf_log.h"

    I finally figured out the issue..

    Can you share what the fix was? I'm having a similar issue. Thanks

     

    Here is my code:

    /* imu setup */
    
        struct bmi160_dev sensor;
    
        sensor.id = BMI160_I2C_ADDR;
    
        sensor.interface = BMI160_I2C_INTF;
    
        sensor.read = &bmx160_i2c_read;            // Function pointer to SPI read
    
        sensor.write = &bmx160_i2c_write;  // Function pointer to SPI write
    
        sensor.delay_ms = &delay_ms;               // Function pointer to delay(ms) function
    
    
    
        int8_t rslt = BMI160_OK;
    
        rslt = bmi160_init(&sensor);
    
        rslt = BMI160_OK;
    
        /* Select the Output data rate, range of accelerometer sensor */
    
        sensor.accel_cfg.odr = BMI160_ACCEL_ODR_1600HZ;
    
        sensor.accel_cfg.range = BMI160_ACCEL_RANGE_2G;
    
        sensor.accel_cfg.bw = BMI160_ACCEL_BW_NORMAL_AVG4;
    
        /* Select the power mode of accelerometer sensor */
    
        sensor.accel_cfg.power = BMI160_ACCEL_NORMAL_MODE;
    
        /* Select the Output data rate, range of Gyroscope sensor */
    
        sensor.gyro_cfg.odr = BMI160_GYRO_ODR_3200HZ;
    
        sensor.gyro_cfg.range = BMI160_GYRO_RANGE_2000_DPS;
    
        sensor.gyro_cfg.bw = BMI160_GYRO_BW_NORMAL_MODE;
    
    
    
        /* Select the power mode of Gyroscope sensor */
    
        sensor.gyro_cfg.power = BMI160_GYRO_NORMAL_MODE;
    
    
    
        /* Set the sensor configuration */
    
        rslt = bmi160_set_sens_conf(&sensor);
    
        rslt = BMI160_OK;
    
        struct bmi160_sensor_data accel;
    
        struct bmi160_sensor_data gyro;
    
        /* To read both Accel and Gyro data along with time*/
    
        rslt = bmi160_get_sensor_data((BMI160_ACCEL_SEL | BMI160_GYRO_SEL | BMI160_TIME_SEL), &accel, &gyro, &sensor);


    I'm able to read the sensor time fine, but the accel and gyro values are all reading 0.

    Nevermind, solved the issue. I had a problem with my i2c write function which wasn't including the reg addr. Its working now.

    Can you please share the solution.
