False step counts in LSM6DSOX when travelling in vehicles.

[VPrad.2]

Hi,

We are using LSM6dsox for motion detection and as pedometer. The step counter value gets incremented when travelling in vehicles. FP_REJECTION and ADVANCE DETECTION is not enabled because the current consumption is very high when we enable the MLC core. 

Overall system current without MLC enable : 60-70uA

With MLC enable : 500-600 uA.

We are using wake-up interrupt and step count interrupt for application.

How to improve the pedometer without higher power consumption?

Thanks,

Vishnu

To enhance pedometer accuracy without raising power consumption, consider optimizing wake-up intervals for vehicle travel. Fine-tune sensitivity thresholds to minimize false positives. Additionally, explore firmware adjustments for efficient step counting. Balancing these settings can improve accuracy without compromising energy efficiency in the LSM6dsox motion detection system.
