Hello,

Since the KX122 and its family are now NRND, could you please advise on recommended alternative accelerometers that are compatible with the MAXM86146, and clarify whether we should expect any firmware updates to support different motion sensor hardware?

Alternatively, is there a way to tweak the pre-compiled hex .msbl file to make it work with other accelerometers?

Thank you.
