Temperature measurements and status register…
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

In the previous video we initiated magnetic field measurements and read the three axes outputs (link below). Since I’m a little bit pressed for time this week, we’ll keep this video short and continue where we left off last time.

So we start out doing the same for temperature measurements that we’ve already done for magnetic field measurements. We finish this video off by reading the status register and having a look at the three meaningful bits in it.

00:00 Intro – continuing where we left off last time
00:40 Temperature measurement – setting bit, reading register
01:19 Temperature measurement code – scaling to °C
07:09 Temperature measurement test – everything’s working
08:35 Status register – just 3 meaningful bits
09:57 Status register code – really simple
12:43 Status register test – no surprises here
13:36 Wrap-up – next up are more of the chip’s innards, bye
