Configuring MPU9250 magnometer

Hello,

I am using a FRDM K22F which is connected to a MPU9250 using SPI.

I can get data by polling but not using FIFO.

To be more precise I CAN get accel and gyro data but NOT magnometer data.

This is driving me crazy....

Here is a sample result :

Have you tried using the driver from the components section that comes with a hello world program? ( http://developer.mbed.org/components/MPU-9250/ )

Jacques wants to use SPI, the components section driver uses I2C

Were you able to solve this issue? I'm struggling with the same problem

Unfortunately not. Sorry

I fixed it!

The problem was you need big delays after changing modes, for example, after a reset I set 1ms and after entering fuse mode 2ms and that did it!

This of course is nowhere to be found on the spec, because you supposedly only need 100us after switching modes (as per the AK8963 spec) but who knows how long it takes for the I2C Master to communicate with the AK8963 when it receives a command.

Hope this helps!
