Have you gotten the step counter feature working?,and how?

I tried to write to the enable registers and read SC_OUT directly but registers hold a constant value that does not change with steps

okay. I ended up using the non-zephyr solution using the driver directly.

Hi,

Is the solution to use the driver directly instead somehow? What was your solution?

Agreed and I found out that these features are not supported in Zephyr.

We can wait for another community forum member assistance or I think this thread is best suited in the Zephyr forum as this is coming from the Zephyr community as your questions on interrupt support is something we cannot add for this sensor.
