ADIS16488 & EVAL-ADISIMU1-RPIZ Issues with buffered capture

Hi Choggard,

Please follow the steps below to capture buffered data.

Note: You will need sudo privileges to perform these operations. Unless it has been changed, the default sudo password is 'analog'.

1. Associate trigger0 (adis16488-dev0) with the current trigger of device0:

sudo sh -c 'echo adis16488-dev0 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/trigger/current_trigger'

2. Verify that the trigger has been correctly linked before proceeding:

cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/trigger/current_trigger

3. Enable the scan elements corresponding to the channels you are interested in. The buffer contents will depend on the enabled scan elements. As an example, the command below enables the Z-axis accelerometer channel:

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/buffer0/in_accel_z_en'

4. Enable the buffer

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/buffer0/enable'

5. Start data streaming using iio_readdev:

sudo iio_readdev adis16488

This will stream the captured data directly to the console. If you would like to save the output to a file, you can redirect it as follows (the example below saves it to the /tmp directory, but you can use any location):

sudo iio_readdev adis16488 > /tmp/data.txt

If you would like to visualize the channel waveforms directly, you can use the ADI IIO Oscilloscope. After following the steps above, I was able to observe the accelerometer channels successfully. Please find the attached image as an example.

Please let me know if you run into any issues or if any of the steps do not behave as expected.

Best regards,

Ruben

This worked. Thank you
