LIS2DH12 driver issue in nRF SDK v15.0

[aaronxu]

Hi,

There are several new drivers under "nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\drivers_ext\", but no example now.

I have setup the HTS221 driver and it works. I turn to LIS2DH12 driver, but it not work.

For send and receive more i2c data then HTS221, I change some Marco like this:

#define MAX_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS    33

#define LIS2DH12_MIN_QUEUE_SIZE       32

And read who_am_i successfully.

when try to read accelerate data, it stuck in somewhere, where I cannot traced.

Could you kindly share with me a example, which is using the new LIS2DH12 driver?

I'm just trying to initialize with lis2dh12_init after setting everything set up and I'm getting:

<error> app: ERROR 536936356 [Unknown error code] at C:\SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM Projects\Wireless_TCT_Device\main.c:203
PC at: 0x00000721
<error> app: End of error report

I have:

#define MAX_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS    32

NRF_TWI_MNGR_DEF(m_nrf_twi_mngr, MAX_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS, TWI_INSTANCE_ID);
NRF_TWI_SENSOR_DEF(m_nrf_twi_sensor,&m_nrf_twi_mngr,32);
LIS2DH12_INSTANCE_DEF(m_lis2dh12,&m_nrf_twi_sensor,LIS2DH12_BASE_ADDRESS_HIGH);

int main()
{

    uint32_t err_code;
    
    nrf_drv_twi_config_t const config = {
       .scl                = 12,
       .sda                = 13,
       .frequency          = NRF_DRV_TWI_FREQ_100K,
       .interrupt_priority = APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_LOWEST,
       .clear_bus_init     = false
    };
    
    err_code = nrf_twi_mngr_init(&m_nrf_twi_mngr, &config);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    
    err_code = nrf_twi_sensor_init(&m_nrf_twi_sensor);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    
    err_code = lis2dh12_init(&m_lis2dh12);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(&err_code);
    NRF_LOG_INFO("LIS2DH Init.");
    
}

You are checking the address of err_code on line 27 in your snippet. It is obviously not 0, so APP_ERROR_CHECK(&err_code) stops the application. Remove the "&"  in APP_ERROR_CHECK(&err_code); and see if that helps.

 

BR,

Edvin

Whoops! That fixed it. I changed that for some reason looking at your above post. Before it was failing because I wasn't initiating twi_sensor.

Edit: Actually it worked because it programmed the DK instead of the external board which does't have the low frequency oscillator. Is it required for TWI?

Edit 2: Changed it to RC in SDK config and it worked. I'll take that as a yes to my question.

Hi everyone,

sorry for the delayed reply. I managed to get it working thanks to Spegs21 - I was oblivious to the fact that you have to init m_nrf_twi_mngr and m_nrf_twi_sensor to configure the pins ...

Edvin the UART debug output went as follows

<info> app: TWI sensor example started.
<info> app: Here.
<error> app: Fatal error
<warning> app: System reset

My suspicion is that due to the uninitialized m_nrf_twi_mngr / m_nrf_twi_sensor the driver didn't knew which pins belonged to the sensor / was getting an "uninitialized something" error at some point.

It works fine now with the code provided below. Take note that I'm using the nRF52 DevKit and have hooked up the sensors SCL to P0.27 and SDA to P.026.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, 

how do you know the sensor instance name (m_lis2dh12)? I try the same code and I have an error:

macro names must be identifiers

in lis2dh12.h

Thanks!
