LIS2DH INT1 Triggers on nRF9160

FYI opened a bug about this: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/34794

I think previously if INT2 was not defined, it would fail gracefully. Something in the device tree API has changed which causes Zephyr to fault.

Yes, I have. I'm modifying the drivers and using the sample. I'll ask over at Zephyr. Thanks.

I need to ask, but have you looked at the LIS2DH sample?

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/v2.4.99-ncs-branch/drivers/sensor/lis2dh/lis2dh.c

If this does not help, then I would suggest asking the Zephyr forum. See Asking for help in the Zephyr docs

Kind regards,

What I am finding is that if I just setup the trigger, nothing happens. However, if I call fetch_and_display(sensor) before going into a wait loop, the trigger does fire. But then it never stops firing.

This is the output:

I do have the movement specified:

LIS2DH_INT_CFG_XHIE_XUPE | LIS2DH_AOI_CFG)

Code is:

struct sensor_value gScale;
sensor_g_to_ms2(16, &gScale);
rc = sensor_attr_set(sensor,SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ,
SENSOR_ATTR_FULL_SCALE,
&gScale);

[quote user="NautDesigner"]It does trigger for SENSOR_TRIG_DATA_READY and that works fine. Trying to get it to trigger on movement.[/quote]

Have you configured INT1 to movement recognition? As LIS2DH datasheet, page 39, states:
"AOI-6D = ‘01’ is movement recognition. An interrupt is generate when orientation move from unknown zone to known zone. The interrupt signal stay for a duration ODR."

From sensor.h, SENSOR_TRIG_DATA_READY states:
/** Trigger fires whenever new data is ready. */

What happens when you read data from device?

INT1 is in the overlay:

lis2dh@18 {
compatible = "st,lis2dh";
reg = <0x18>;
irq-gpios = <&gpio0 12 0>; // GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
label = "LIS2DH";
};

It does trigger for SENSOR_TRIG_DATA_READY and that works fine. Trying to get it to trigger on movement.

Also, how do you add the send interrupt to the irq-gpios line?

Hello,

Have you also configured these pins in your overlay? Do you get an error message or does it not communicate with the device correctly? Have a look at my colleague Simon's answer here, note that it was for NCS tag 1.3.1.

Kind regards,
