I have DATA_READY, Activity and Inactivity interrupts mapped from INT1 to INT0 on the arduino. DATA_READY works fine, the problem is Activity and Inactivity are always set to 0 in the INT_SOURCE register. I have set up the threshold for activity and inactivity and the time of inactivity. I would like the algorithm to run when DATA_READY and Activity interrupts are 1 and do nothing when Inactivity is 1 (activity is 0). When Activity is 0 the accelerometer should go automatically in sleep mode and wakes up if activity is detected.

Edit:

I have modified the program to check in the loop whether the different flags are set and only the DATA_READY is. Activity and Inactivity are never set.

  • from the datasheet apparently reading the INT_SOURCE registers clears the Activity and Inactivity flags, in that case it would be normal to read o for them. As an alternative, I mapped the activity interrupt from INT2 of ADXL to INT1 of the arduino. active_mode=1 inside the second interrupt function, the first is for data_ready where sensor_update is set to 1. Even with this sensor_update and active_mode always reads 0. Confusing! – user49395 Feb 25 '15 at 01:17
