What is the minimal initialization sequence for the L3GD20 Gyro?

[DLewi]

Two questions:

(1) If I want to poll the status register instead of using interrupts, and don't want to use the FIFO, is the following initialization sequence sufficient?

uint8_t cmd ;

GYRO_IO_Init() ;

// Enable Block Data Update and full scale = 2000 dps

cmd = 0xA0 ;

GYRO_IO_Write(&cmd, GYRO_CTRL_REG4, sizeof(cmd)) ;

// Use output from high-pass filter

cmd = 0x02 ;

GYRO_IO_Write(&cmd, GYRO_CTRL_REG5, sizeof(cmd)) ;

// Enable X, Y and Z channels

cmd = 0x0F ;

GYRO_IO_Write(&cmd, GYRO_CTRL_REG1, sizeof(cmd)) ;

(2) Am I correct to assume that a set of new XYZ data becomes available (by default) every 10 msec (100 Hz), meaning that the GYRO_ZYXDA_FLAG of the status register is set once every 10 msec, and reset when the dataset is read?

Thanks!
