MEMS (sensors)

Hi,I'm using an ISM330DHCX in a couple of boards.The output looks great on the desk but when subject to high shock and vibration the gyro signal shows a lot of noise (to the point where the rotation value is lost).Is this just something that happens with this device, or is there a way to mitigate this effect?

Hey, i am currently planning to work with the ISM330DLC and am wondering if its possible to change the full-scale selection of Accelerometer (CTRL1_XL (10h) - FS_XL [1:0]) during operation. Or is it mandatory to stop the ISM to change the control register values. I could not find any  information regarding that topic in the datasheet attached. 

I am currently working on a project that involves angle measurement, and I'm using the LSM6DSRX sensor in conjunction with an STM32 microcontroller. I have encountered some challenges, and I would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance to help me overcome them. Project Details: Microcontroller: esp32s3 Sensor: LSM6DSRX Objective: To accurately measure angles using data from the LSM6DSRX sensor. Challenges I'm Facing: Not able to calculate appropriate angle measured by sensor

At the moment I am making an application for 3D sound detection, in which I am making use of the STEVAL-STWINKT1B and the STEVAL-STWINMAV1 microphone array (which I haven't used yet). I am just starting, and I can not understand the operation of the SensorTile, previously I was using the SensorTile.box and it was easier to handle APP ST BLE SENSOR, in which I could easily extract the data, however, in the SensorTile it is getting complicated, I guess it is because of the FW used that I can not see the APP as in "cap2" and rather I see it as in "cap1".Finally, speaking of the microphone array, I would like to ask how to connect it to the device? physically I have already connected it (in the CN4) but I understand that this is not enough to make use of it (besides I am not very clear how to receive the data that it gives me).Sorry for so many doubts.

I'm looking for a mechanical survivability spec for shock/vibration for the gyroscope MEMs sensors offered by ST, and was wondering if this information is available somewhere?Specifically interested in the A3G4250D and I3G4250D sensors. Is this information available?Thank you!

I am trying to read the "Who am I" register of a LSM6DSO. I get no response on the MISO line. I suspect I am not configuring the IMU correctly. I am using a Nucleo-L031K6 connected to a MKI196V1. I attached the code. Am I missing something in the configuration for SPI? I have the data sheet but still resort to too much guessing. Am I missing a document or code resource? Any help or code examples is appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Hi ST-Community,According to the Datasheet of LSM6DSM, there is a Lowpass filter dependent on the Output data rate. The datasheet does not mention any cut off frequency for the gyro.I also need to know the Phase Shift/ Group Delay of the filter over frequency. Is it an IIR Filter or a FIR Filter and which order? Maybe someone can provide the transfer function?Currently I am running the LSM6DSM with 417Hz ODR.Thank You and best regards,Florian Reisberg

Hi!How much capacitance is to be expected in SCL and SDA inputs for IIS2DLPC? I couldn't find it in the datasheet.Thanks in advance.

I have follow the Integration of the LSM6DSM drivers from here : https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STMems_Linux_IIO_drivers/blob/linux-4.4.y-gh/README.md & https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STMems_Linux_IIO_drivers/tree/linux-4.14.y-gh/drivers/iio/imu/st_lsm6dsmNow I am able to get data through sysfs devices :grep "" /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device*/name /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/name:lsm6dsm_accel /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device1/name:lsm6dsm_gyro /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device2/name:lsm6dsm_sign_motion /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device3/name:lsm6dsm_step_c /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device4/name:lsm6dsm_ste

Hello, I am currently in process of evaluating one sensor - LSM6DSV32X (and LSM6DSV32XTR) and I was not able to find any information about its current life cycle status and yteol (years till end of life). Is it something you could help me with? Kind regards, Filip Langer 

We are new to IMU LSM6DSO.We want to get Euler's angle form Accelerometer and Gyroscope Sensor Fusion.We are using STM32 Nucleo-L476RG board with Sparkfun LSM6DSO board in STM32CubeIDE.We have included STM3_MotionFX_Library in our project, but unable to find out function to get Euler's Angle from sensor fusion of Accelerometer and Gyroscpe data.Requesting to help us to get Euler's  Angle. Thanking in advanceManan 

Hello,I am trying to integrate the magnetic sensor data for the sensor_fusion_9x demo.  I am using the F401RE+1A3+LSM6DSO16IS and when I leave the jumpers as standard I get no mag and the demo runs.  I obviously get no mag data since the sensor hub is not being jumped in.  When I change jumpers the to allow the IMU to act as a sensor hub then the device can connect but there is no option to start and i get no data at all.  I did make sure to add the shub.ucf data to the demo.ucf so that I was initing the sensor and hub. At this point I dont know what I am doing wrong but the only thing i can think of is that the MCU software from algo builder cant find the sensors and it is blocking.  Any help would be great.

Hi, I have STEVAL-MKI185V1 adaptor. For reading the data, i use 3 commands(*setdbxxxvy, *start, *mrAA). and then i can read only '1' data. How do i read continuous data? what 'command' i use for reading continous data?

I'm looking to organize a POC centered around using VR/AR platform to measure disturbances on a human eyeball. This company URL seemed interesting.https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/about/innovation---technology/mems-scanar.htmlI'd like to clarify if you have a technology that can safely measure eye ball changes over a small distance and small duration in time.Thx,Ben

Hello, guys!Could you help us understand the issue with single data conversion for an internal temperature sensor of LIS2DW12? While experimenting we followed datasheet (DS11811 - Rev 8), Application Note AN5038 and single data conversion app note DT0102.When the device is powered up and single data conversion is started we never receive the first two measurement results. The only thing which helps us is the measurement restart.Other conditions:- for data control we use of INT2 pin - DRDY_T sensing- the sensor is used for some other purposes between the two consecutive temperature read calls, that's why the sensor is configured each time for single data conversion- code fragment is given below:  // Set up Single data conversion, Low power mode 25 Hz, LP mode 1 12bit resolution: write_reg(CTRL6, 0x84, 1); write_reg(CTRL2, 0x88); write_reg(CTRL1, 0x38); // Route DRDY_T on I

Hi,I have STEVAL-MKI185V1 adaptor. ST Microelectronics is already giving the software. But I would like to integrate the output from the motherboard through LabView. Can someone please tell me whether it is possible to use LabView as acquisition software for this motherboard instead of ST Microelectronics default software?

We are planning to use ASM330LHH at a distance of about 1m from the MCU to which it will interface for supplying the gyro data in an automotive application. SPI will run at around 1MHz. Can we interface directly through SPI, or should we integrate the sensor with anoother MCU and transmit the data to the main MCU over CAN? Are there any chances of data corruption over SPI due to EMI etc? Should we use any special wiring?

puis-je utiliser le progiciel X-CUBE-GNSS1 et la carte d'extension X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 avec une carte Nucleo STM32 pour développer une application combinant à la fois les fonctionnalités GNSS et les capteurs MEMS ? Si oui, comment puis-je les connecter à la carte Nucleo, et comment configurer les broches pour éviter les conflits puisqu'elles partagent certaines broches sur la carte Nucleo F401RE ?

LSM6DSO occasionally indicates Accelerometer data is ready and Gyroscope data is not.  But, the odd thing is, if the Gyroscope data is read regardless of it's state of readiness, the Gyroscope values continue to change as expected.  Specifically, the Gyroscope data still looks good.It was expected that the Gyroscope data would be "frozen" or "all zeros" when the Gyroscope ready bit was zero.  It was not expected the Gyroscope data would still be changing and reflect what physically was happening to the Gyroscope sensor. Specifics:Chip: LSM6DSORegister: LSM6DSO_STATUS_REG (0x1EU)Bits:  XLDA (bit 0) & GDA (bit 1)

I would like to find out the if the following assumptions are correct. It offers 16 bit (65K) level resolution. The sensitivity in mV/g would about 3000/2g for the 2g range? That seems rather high because typically you see 500 mv/g values. Also I am not sure how the 26.6 K data rate translates into 6 KHz bandwith specified in the datasheet.

I am running a STWINBX1 with the latest v1.2.0 firm from the STM32CubeFunctionPack_DATALOG2_V1.2.0.I have compiled and uploaded the DATALOG2-STWIN.Box firmware successfully.  I am using the ST BLE Sensor App v5.0.0 on my iPhone to configure and run the "High Speed Data Log 2" option.  I configure the sensors (using the accelerometers only) and start and stop logging successfully.  All good, but now I go to covert the .dat files to CSV files for processing using:python hsdatalog_data_export.py d:\20230729_10_57_37 -f CSV -dI am flooded with multiple lines like this in the terminal:2023-07-29 11:00:52,572 - HSDatalogApp.st_hsdatalog.HSD.HSDatalog_v2 - WARNING - Sensor iis2dlpc_acc: corrupted data at -3.2819972584109675e+296 sec (HSDatalog_v2.py:564)2023-07-29 11:00:52,573 - HSDatalogApp.st_hsdatalog.

Hello,There are some abbreviations next to ODR: HP, HA, LP1, LP2, LP3, and NM. I believe HP stands for high performance, LP stands for low performance, and NM stands for normal mode. Can you explain the differences between LP1, LP2, and LP3? Additionally, I'm curious about the meaning of HA. Regards,Fehmi K.

Hello!I have a working version of the chips with the marking on the surface "S4 052"Recently we've received a new batch of LSM6DSO(X) chips - they don't respons to ID requests via SPI. The marking on the surface of the new chips is "S4 148".What the second number (148) on the surface means? What can be the problem with SPI communication?Best regards!
