16G Accelerometer

[theavijitsarkar]

Hi @sandeepmistry,
Line 184 lib/cc2650.js it says // we specify 8G range in setup.
How do i change to 16g or 4g.

[sandeepmistry]

This is currently not supported.

However can be, by adding a API to set the correct bits: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC2650_SensorTag_User's_Guide#Configuration_2

Pull requests welcome ....

Hi sandeepmistry,

I'm not sure to understand, is it possible to set the bits somewhere manually in your code (replace a mask?), or where those bits are to be setup ?

[sandeepmistry]

@openStove try https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-sensortag/blob/master/lib/cc2650.js#L19 and the link I mentioned earlier. All the code you need to change is isolated in lib/cc2650.js. Note: the SensorTag firmware might have issues, so the docs don't always line up.

@sandeepmistry Is it enabling 8G by default on the accelerometer? Looking at https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-sensortag/blob/master/lib/cc2650.js#L108 it seems it is being set to 2G by using 0x007f for the config characteristic value?

Hi @efreiberg,

it is being set to 2G by using 0x007f for the config characteristic value?

Maybe, from what I remember there was some bugs in the firmware or documentation when I was looking at it. Maybe this has since been fixed, the 0x007f was the only way I could get things working reliable.

Please tryout other values and report your findings (also mention the f/w version you are using on your SensorTag). Thanks.

Hi Sandeep, I am a novice in nodejs.I had a question related to Ti Sensor tag reading MPU9250 data
i am trying to understand how to read motion sensor data using gatttool
I see in your code you set the config mask as 0x7F which is enabling all axes for all 3 sensors/meters
when I try to do this using gatttool, i am not able get any data from the handle associated with AA81*
Could you please help ?
P.S. Using your nodejs code, I am able to get some values for all 3 sensors/meters.
