Tap detection with the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Sense

Post by southernatheart »

I looking to use the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Sense to detect a tap. It will be mounted in a small plastic enclosure, and when someone taps on the box it will play a musical note via Bluetooth MIDI.
I thought there'd be an example of how to use the sensors to do this, but haven't found anything yet. I think I'm needing to use the LSM6DS33 Accel/Gyro to detect a tap, and I can get the readings of it from the sample code on the learning page for the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Sense here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-sense

I did find this learning page, (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LI ... apdemo.ino) which talks about a tap detector, but it seems it's for a different chip. But I think it's just what I'm looking for. Is there any implementation of this on the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Sense?
thanks

@southernatheart,

This is the library for the LSM6DS33. We do not have an example specific tap example for the Feather Sense.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LSM6DS

I do see there is a TAP_CFG var which you could go back to the datasheet to determine usage or you can review the full featured library that ST put out with a tap example.

Code: Select all

#define LSM6DS_TAP_CFG 0x58        ///< Tap/pedometer configuration
