Accessing MPU9250's magnetometer via SPI #367
Comments

You could treat the AK8963 as an I2C slave to the MPU9250 and read mag data
directly from MPU9250 registers with SPI like in this
<https://github.com/kriswiner/MPU9250/tree/master/AK8963_as_slave> example.
Not here I am using I2C to read MPU9250 registers but you can replace this
with SPI and it should work just fine.

Thank you Kris. I successfully read the Who Am I register by making AK8963 as an I2C slave (SLAVE 4) of MPU9250. However, now i want to read magnetometer values for which i want to configure my CNTL1 register for continuous measurement mode 2. I am trying to write to this register but when i read it back it shows 0x00. Why i cannot write to this register? |
|
No idea. Are you using the MPU9250 methods to write to the slave sensor via
the MPU9250 registers?

You should be able to write and read back register data, no idea why it
doesn't work.

The datasheet says it is a read-only register. |
|
Well, then of course you can't write to it.

How can i set the continuous measurement mode? |
|
Most of the AK8963C registers can be written to. You have to write the
correct configuration to the appropriate register as in the sketch I linked
to.

Thank you for your help Kris. I have resolved the issue which was in the sequence of sending commands. The DO register of slave 4 should have been written first before enabling the slave. I was doing the other way around. |
|
I can read and write to registers now. However, when i enter fuse mode to access Axial Sensitivity Adjustment Values, all three registers return me zero. Are these values correct? |
|
No these values should be 1 +, like 1.10 or 1.05, etc

Hello, kriswiner. I have an issue of MPU9250 magnetometer. MPU9250 is working smoothly at the beginning(Interface: SPI). But a few moment later, the magnetometer data doesn’t change anymore.It needs to cut down the power of MPU9250 to fix it. I’ve been nagged with this issue for weeks. Can you give me any advice? Thanks. |
