    Hello,

    Can I use int1_drdy and INT1 pin to read magnetometer data? I can do this for the accelerometer but so far I haven't succeeded with the magnetometer.

    I also tried to configure the magnetometer according to the section 2.4.3.1.3 in the datasheet but for me the register adreesses and the contents doesn't make sense if I compare them to the register map in the section 2.11. For example register 0x4b is written but in the map it is shown as reserved. Also there are accronyms such as REPXY or REPZ but they are not explained anywhere. So I am little bit  confused can I manage if I follow those instructions?

    I am interfacing BMX160 over SPI with msp430

    BR,

    Hi

    BMX160 consit BMI160 and BMM150, two chip in one package, BMI160 connected BMM150 with aux interface .

    We provide the driver customer to integrate BMX160 as BMI160_driver#initialization-of-auxiliary-sensor-bmm150 .

    Please confirm that read chip_id success, means aux interface could run, and then read/write related register.

     

    Best regards.
