iis2dlpc-rs

Provides a platform-agnostic, no_std-compatible driver for the ST IIS2DLPC sensor, supporting both I2C and SPI communication interfaces.

Sensor Overview

The IIS2DLPC is an ultra-low-power high-performance three-axis linear accelerometer with digital I²C/SPI output interface which leverages on the robust and mature manufacturing processes already used for the production of micromachined accelerometers.

The IIS2DLPC has user-selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and is capable of measuring accelerations with output data rates from 1.6 Hz to 1600 Hz.

The IIS2DLPC has one high-performance mode and 4 low-power modes which can be changed on the fly, providing outstanding versatility and adaptability to the requirements of the application. The IIS2DLPC has an integrated 32-level first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer allowing the user to store data in order to limit intervention by the host processor.

The embedded self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application.

The IIS2DLPC has a dedicated internal engine to process motion and acceleration detection including free-fall, wakeup, highly configurable single/double-tap recognition, activity/inactivity, stationary/motion detection, portrait/landscape detection and 6D/4D orientation.

The IIS2DLPC is available in a small thin plastic land grid array package (LGA) and it is guaranteed to operate over an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Installation

Add the driver to your Cargo.toml dependencies:

[dependencies]
iis2dlpc-rs = "0.1.0"

Or, add it directly from the terminal:

cargo add iis2dlpc-rs

Usage

Include the crate and its prelude

use iis2dlpc_rs as iis2dlpc;
use iis2dlpc::*;
use iis2dlpc::prelude::*;

Create an instance

Create an instance of the driver with the new_<bus> associated function, by passing an I2C (embedded_hal::i2c::I2c) instance and I2C address, or an SPI (embedded_hal::spi::SpiDevice) instance, along with a timing peripheral.

An example with I2C:

let mut sensor = Lsm6dsv320x::new_i2c(i2c, I2CAddress::I2cAddL, delay);

Check "Who Am I" Register

This step ensures correct communication with the sensor. It returns a unique ID to verify the sensor's identity.

let whoami = sensor.device_id_get().unwrap();
if whoami != ID {
    panic!("Invalid sensor ID");
}

Configure

See details in specific examples; the following are common api calls:

// Restore default configuration
sensor.reset_set().unwrap();
while sensor.reset_get().unwrap() == 1 {}

// Enable Block Data Update
sensor.block_data_update_set(PROPERTY_ENABLE).unwrap();

// Set Full scale
sensor.full_scale_set(Fs::_8g).unwrap();

// Configure power mode
sensor
    .power_mode_set(Mode::ContLowPwrLowNoise12bit)
    .unwrap();

// Set Output Data Rate
sensor.data_rate_set(Odr::_25hz).unwrap();
