How 3x axis sine waves act on a Compass module Oshonsoft BASIC.

Hi j,
Here is the latest program, I've got to have a break.

Here are the results:

As you can see there's no improvement
Only check if you want to, I've got to re-check tomorrow.

Hi J,
I agree, so I've changed it, well done But the result was the same. All zeros

Then I replaced the new 'AK8963C COMPASS INITIALISATION' With the old version, and it now works, but I don't know why.
Here's the program, with NEW commented out.

EDIT: The result of the Self test doesn't seem different to the normal READings, I'll re-look tomorrow.

Hi J,
I realised that the second CNTL1 also needs the 16 BIT restoring, so perhaps the

I've reverted to the #31 program with the 2x16BIT '1' added.

It appears to be working now. If programmed it shows the 'Self test' then if switched OFF/ON, then no 'Self test' Any ideas?

EDIT: Can you think of a reason that when programmed it shows 255, 213, 175 and when it is switched OFF/ON it shows 255, 0, 0?
Could it be that once it has programmed the 'Self test' it resets the sensors?
C.

Something wrong in the first self test.
Z should be always negative.

Hi J,
Could the self test be different?
Otherwise I'm stumped!

See the d/s about the values of X,Y,Z in the self test.

Hi J,
Negative at both ends, so I'm stuck.
Are there any ideas.
Should I ask the question on AAC?

EDIT: I don't think it's actually carrying out the 'Self test', as I commented it out and still got the same READings.
C

 

[camerart]

Hi,
I hust started a register check program, but I have to remember how the READ/WRITE BIT works. I thought a BYTE e,g, 0x0A should be 0x8A, but I I'm not so sure
C

 

[jjw]

Most significant bit ( bit7 ) is 1 for reading, 0 for writing.
For example read register at address 0xA
spisend 0x8A or spisend %10001010
spireceive data

Hi J,
I've just spotted 7.2.3 in the D/S. I'll read it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think I get it now!
I was getting mixed up between 8BIT and 16BIT READ.
I'll have a go at checking WRITE READ, so I can figure out why it's not correct.

Hi,
Just re-checking everything, and notice that if I output the 2x bytes that are making the postitive number it looks like this, which should result in a negative number? Which looks like the 2's compliment section isn't working correctly.

The 2's complement calculation in the self test should be exactly the same as in the measured values.
Print low bytes, high bytes and the 2's complements from the self test.

Hi J,
True!
I've changed the program a bit, and found BYTEs where there should be SINGLES.
Here:

Hi,
I set-up READ the 'self test' registers, but the READings are incorrect. It looks like it's not WRITEing.

Hi J,
In the self test the program WRITEs the self test settings. If I READ them straight back they are as shown, not correct.
Just re-checking.

Where have you disabled I2C

Where have you disabled I2C

Hi J,
I've just added it into the 'self test' routine at the beginning, and I think it changed things, but it didn't appear to set the ASTC SELF BIT.
Dull head today, I'll try tomorrow.
Thanks,
C.
