Covering the parameters VIRTUALGAINMIN and VIRTUALGAINMAX …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

Last time we completed the library’s functionality by implementing the diagnostic and oscillator messages (link below). Of course there’s still room for improvement. It’s also time to find out what all those configuration parameters do.

First we do some housekeeping, that is we improve the library, especially the oscillator frequency measurement. Then we determine/verify the axes of the chip. Finally we cover the VIRTUALGAINMIN/-MAX parameters and experiment with them.

00:00 Intro – housekeeping, oscillator, config parameters
01:04 Housekeeping – 1st private section and renames
07:10 Code 1 – new oscillator frequency measurement
15:36 Test 1 – we do get better frequency measurements
17:51 Axes – X, Y and Z of the chip & magnetic field lines
26:06 VIRTUALGAINMIN/-MAX – what the datasheet says
35:02 Code 2 – for testing VIRTUALGAINMIN/-MAX
18:15 Experimenting – with VIRTUALGAINMIN/-MAX
47:37 Wrap-up – more config parameters to follow, bye
