BNO055 tap-detection

Post by somethingz »

Hi there.

I have a BNO055 Stemma Qt for my Feather ESP32 v2, and I was curious to hear if it is possible to do some simple tap-detection without implementing an entire algorithm from scratch?

Cheers.

You might be able to use the "High-G" interrupt. See page 42 of the datasheet https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/a ... 000_14.pdf but it doesn't look like the libraries (C++ or CircuitPython) support it directly. You'd have to set the thresholds and interrupt enabling then monitor/manage the INT pin.
