Any-motion event can be enabled on a per-axis basis and triggers a
combined event when motion is detected on any axis.
No-motion event is triggered if the rate of change on all axes falls
below a specified threshold for a configurable duration. A fake channel
is used to report this event.
Threshold and duration can be configured from userspace.
Signed-off-by: Gustavo Silva <gustavograzs@gmail.com>
---
Changes in v4:
- Reworked the threshold for the any-motion event so that threshold *
accel_scale is given in m/s^2, in accordance with the ABI
Also the range of available values for the threshold is now determined
dynamically based on the value of the accelerometer scale
- Fixed alignment and styling of some statements and macros
- Simplified the return statement in the bmi270_read_event_config()
function by returning the boolean expression directly

Is this already documented in ABI?

Btw, what if we use the device on poles and on equator (or even on orbital
station)? I'm wondering if this constant should be defined in units.h or
even in uAPI that user space may add a correction if needed.

I certainly hadn't thought about these scenarios.
FWIW, the accelerometer scale values also assume g = 9.81 m/s^2.
For example, 0.000598 = 2 * 9.81 / 32768

I don't know, but what I can say is that change is no-go without documented ABI.

Right, but this should be supplied to user space somehow. OTOH the measure error
may be high enough (what is the precision of the measurements by the way?) that
it will neglect the differences in the 'g' constant.
All the details are given in [1].

These sensors don't measure relative to g.
That's annoying marketing which is why I held firm for m/s^2 for IIO :)
So what they measure for a given acceleration does not change depending
on where we are on earth. You should use a 'fixed' standard value for
conversion from marketing values in g to m/s^2..
Or maybe I'm missing something!

Indeed. Seems this particular combination has yet shown up (or we missed
it for docs). Add appropriate events/in_accel_value_available
entry to Documentation/ABI/sysfs-bus-iio
Whilst you are there, good to check that all the other ABI for this device
is listed in there. Given we mostly construct ABI from a bunch of parts, it
is easy to miss entries for particular combinations of channel type and thing.

What do they measure? Any links for me to study?

Hmm... But shouldn't that marketing value be exposed to user space?

m/s^2 (well actually not, but they derive that from change in properties of a capacitor like structure as it bends under
the force generated by the acceleration. Which in the vertical direction is g if the device isn't moving.
https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/accelerometer-and-gyroscopes-sensors-operation-sensing-and-applications.html
looks good as an intro from a very quick glance.

yes, but its 9.81 where ever you are. Or whatever the datasheet says they use.
These things are rarely that well calibrated, so the exact value gets lost in the
errors!

I got lost in this thread, so perhaps am assuming there is a v5 to come.
Maybe just send one anyway even if no changes as it'll jump up my list to look at.

Hi Jonathan,
Yes, I’ve yet to send v5. Just a quick reminder: patches 1 and 2 from
this series were already accepted as of v3.
Regarding v5, would it make sense to split it into two separate patches:
one for the motion events and another for the ABI documentation?

I'm a bit lost (and short on time, after a garage door crisis - always
have spare cables and helpful friends - both of which I did :)
Anyhow, if ABI is custom in same patch as the code that implements it.
If documenting new or existing (docs missing) then separate patch.
