I2C Reading Valus (0x80 | OUT_X_L_G)

[jingram]

Hi

When reading the values for the Gyro, why do you offset the address by or’ing OUT_X_L_G with 0x80

The Gyro is initialised in Bypass mode, so the latest single value in the FIFO will always be written to OUT_[XYZ]_[LH]_G registers after being read (From what I understand in the spec sheet)

If I only output d/s sampling from 0x80 | OUT_X_L_G .. I do not get 0 values for the gyro being stationary.
If I read only from OUT_X_L_G, I get a 0 value and changing values when moving.

Please can you advise what the 0x80 is for?

It is needed with reading multiple bytes and increments the FIFO. From the datasheet:

In order to read multiple bytes, it is necessary to assert the most significant bit of the subaddress field. In other words, SUB(7) must be equal to 1 while SUB(6-0) represents the
address of first register to be read

0x80 = b10000000

Hi

Thanks Mark.
That line was way deep in the spec sheet.
