Thanks for your response. Essentially I didn't change any code from the official BMI270-Sensor-API on Github when using it, if you are referring to that. Still the issue of not beeing able to load the config into the BMI270 persists. I feel that loading the config is necessary to even use the BMI270 because otherwise I won't receive any data from the DATA_X registers. Having no problems receiving data from the BMI160. Either way, loading the config through the "official" way doesn't work and also not in my own way. So I don't understand what the problem with this sensor is. I have two BMI270 and for both sensors the config won't load. I don't think that both sensors would have some internal problems, but I really tried a lot since the last 2 weeks to get this thing up and running. Regards ... View more

Thanks for your fast response, I was surprised you answered even with this post beeing over 3 years old. Sorry to ask again, but regarding your code how does your bmi270_write() function look like? I am still a beginner in this area and not sure if the BMI270 would be a good IMU to start with in my situation, but I explained my problem in detail over here: https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/MEMS-sensors-forum/BMI270-I2C-with-Raspberry-Pi-3B/m-p/72140 Sadly didn't get enough help to resolve this issue. (which is understandable with that much text to read) I saw in another post of yours in here that you defined i2c_reg_read() and i2c_reg_write() as well as delay_us() and changed the dev struct. So according to this I figure that you were using the officlal BMI270-Sensor-API on github? In short I wanted to manually write the Bytes of the bmi270_config_file to the BMI2_INIT_CTRL_ADDR to load the config because I didn't have any success setting up the BMI270-Sensor-API on their git with COINES. So in total I would only use two files: base.cpp and bmi2_defs.h. My question is what else would need to be done if not just i2cReadByteData() in while() or for() loop to load the values of the config file for example? Regards ... View more

Still having issues with the initialization of the BMI270. Anyone could be so kind and provide a full working example code? Regards ... View more

Thanks for your reply. The BMI270 (with breakout board) is connected properly to the Raspberry Pi. Still when reading out the data registers, I only receive zeros. When trying to read out data with the same setup but the BMI160 instead, I can read out the data registers and receive values. Also when using the Official BMI270 sensor API code on github which you linked, I receive this error when executing: Error [-9] : Configuration load error. It occurs when failure observed while loading the configuration into the sensor What could be the problem? Best Regards Kevin ... View more
