BMA423Driver < IoT_Course

---+ The driver for BMA423 Triaxial Acceleration Sensor

I found that !MicroPython layer in bma423 from [[https://github.com/OPHoperHPO/lilygo-ttgo-twatch-2020-micropython][https://github.com/OPHoperHPO/lilygo-ttgo-twatch-2020-micropython ]] because it uses deprecated calls to I2C in !MicroPython.

However, I found that Daniel Thomson has also written a !MicroPython interface to the BMA423 API from Bosch !SensorTec, which was easier to adapt to the t-watch.

https://github.com/daniel-thompson/bma42x-upy

I had to make only a few modifications: Daniel uses a BMA421 while the t-watch uses a BMA423. I therefore had to replace all occurrences of "<i>bma421"</i> in bma42x.c by "<i>bma423". </i>In addition the t-watch uses the secondary !I2C address 0x19 for the chip (the primary address is 0x18) and I therefore had to replace ic2_addr in the device descriptor to BMA4_I2C_ADDR_SECONDARY.

Daniel also supplies a few example programs, which are essentially ports of the Bosch examples ported from C to !MicroPython

The !BMA42X driver uses the
   * !BMA42X(i2c): create a !BMA42X object. The i2c parameter must be a initialized !SoftI2C object
   * debug(on_off): switch debugging on / off
   * feature_enable
   * get_offset_comp
   * get_temperature(unit): unit may be
   * init (called when the object is created)
   * map_interrupt
   * read_accel_xyz
   * read_int_status
   * set accel_config
   * reset_step_counter
   * set accel_enable
   * set_any_mot_config
   * set_no_mot_config
   * set_command_reg
   * set_offset_comp
   * step_detector_enable
   * step_counter_output
   * step_counter_set_watermark
   * write_config_file
The driver also defines the following constants:

The registers:
   * ACCEL_CONFIG_ADDR
   * POWER_CONF_ADDR
   * POWER_CTRL_ADDR
   * NV_CONFIG_ADDR
Configuration values:
   * ACCEL_RANGE_2G
   * ACCEL_RANGE_4G
   * ACCEL_RANGE_8G
   * ACCEL_RANGE_16G
   * ACCEL_NORMAL_AVG4
   * (OUTPUT_DATA_RATE_50HZ
   * OUTPUT_DATA_RATE_100HZ
   * CIC_AVG_MODE
   * CONTINUOUS_MODE
Temperature parameters:
   * SCALE_TEMP
   * DEG
   * FAHREN
   * KELVIN
   * STEP_CNTR
   * STEP_ACT
   * SINGLE_TAP
   * (DOUBLE_TAP

   * INTR1_MAP
   * INTR2_MAP
   * STEP_CNTR_INT
   * ANY_MOT_INT
   * NO_MOT_INT
Constants to enable axis
   * DIS_ALL_AXIS
   * X_AXIS_EN
   * Y_AXIS_EN
   * Z_AXIS_EN
   * EN_ALL_AXIS
