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

Sorry, I haven't read the whole d/s.
I2C is disabled with a pin in the chip.

Hi J,
i2c Here:

I think I'll swap the chip set-up back to in front of the 'self test' routine, and hope I can keep the relevant settings, without the 'self test' routine changing them.

From the D/S
AK8963 supports I2C bus interface and 4-wire SPI. A selection is made by CSB pin.
CSB pin=“L”: 4-wire SPI
CSB pin=“H”: I2C bus interface

Hi J,
It appears that I've been using 2x ways of disabling i2c!
1/The method in #62
plus
2/ Each time I WRITE or READ the chip, I use this method:
______________________________________________________________________
SPI COMPSS = CSB H or L

compss = 0 'CHIP SELECT COMPASS ON
SPISend 0x0f 'CONFIG I2C Disable
SPISend 0x1b '1B=27 WRITE CONFIG I2C OFF
compss = 1 'CHIP SELECT COMPASS OFF
_____________________________________________________________________________
Thanks
C.

Don't you have CSB pin low permanently ( tied to GND )?

Hi J,
No, I thought that each module was selected in turn by it's chip select pin.

Hi J,
The program has stopped getting the normal READings, so I think it's better that I start again, with what I've learnt, but this time without the normal READ of measurement.

Of course, my bad.
Then you don't have to disable I2C in software.

Is the chip select pin separate from the CSB pin?

Hi J,
No there's only one.

Hi J,
I've been re-writing the 'self test' program, item by item, and got to the offending ASTC WRITE READ here are the results.
As you can see the ASTC shows 64 which is 0x40 as WRITTEN.
Good, I'll stop for now.
C.

Hi J,
I'm a bit suspicious that 3x different modules, READ the same?

Hi J,
Ok, thanks.

What do you mean?

Hi J,
I used the program, you've seen with 3x diferent compasses (modules) and the results were the same, I found this suspicious.

I tried a different method of READing the 'self test' measurement DATA, (simply a READ for each sensor). This resulted in different READings, but I still don't think they look correct, also all of them are out of the correct 'self test' values
I'll keep changing, till it looks better, then post the program.
C

 

[camerart]

Hi J,
Success!!
I found a major typo, XXX instead of XYZ, changed and now it works. Similar results with 3x modules.
Thanks, C

Hi,
I've just been reminding myself about the Magmaster and Magviewer.
Magmaster is for producing correction settings for each Compass module, and Magviewer is to show how far out it is before and after.
Here is 1x Module in Magviewer:

Previouslt we made a READing average program, which I've got to combine into the 'Self test'/Magmaster program.
