I am struggling with reading data from the the Gyroscope L3G4200. I have tried SPI 4 wire and I2C. If anybody has worked this code out in PBP3 I would love to view it.

Here's part of some code for ST's LSM330DLC that looks like it has all the same registers for your gyroscope. Be sure to correct the address for your device.
Since it's a lengthy program, I'll just list the basic functions.
I used the MSSP module of the PIC18F14K50 so it can run in the background.
The read routine was called using the DRDY interrupt output of the device.
MSSP config:
Gyro register configs:Code:SSPSTAT.7 = 0 ' Slew rate control set to 400KHz
SSPSTAT.6 = 0 ' SMBus compliance disabled
SSPCON1 = %00101000 ' Enbles I2C module and Master mode
SSPADD = $1A ' Baud rate clock divider bits set for 400KHz
' Adjusted from $1D = 368KHz
CLEAR ' Set all registers to 0
XYZ_RAM VAR BYTE[12] ' Array for 16 bit data, 2 bytes each. First 6 for accelerometer, last 6 for gyro

Louie,
Thanks big time. I'll post once I get it going......or not.
Fritz
You're welcome and good luck with your project.
Louie,
Please pardon me for my ignorance. But I am not seeing the condition in the code fragment "WHILE SSPSTAT.2: WEND". Do I read this as "wait until bit 2 of the SSPSTAT register is not set"?
Thank you for your help. I just can't find the answer in the PBP3 manual or of course the data sheet.
F
Yes, that's exactly what that means.
This bit is high while "Transmit in progress", which is a very short time.
Look in your PIC datasheet under MSSP Module and I2C Mode then SSPSTAT under Registers.
Which PIC are you using?
Are you getting an ACK from the gyro?
Hi Louie,
I have been wanting to migrate to !8F from 16F for some time now. Since your code is written for the 18F it provided me with the motivation to make the switch. My test bed was a LabX1 with a 16F877. But now I will jumper in the 18F14K50. The application is for fusion of accelerometer and gyroscope data into an IMU deceleration detection and warning device for vehicles.
The PIC arrived yesterday and I should have it jumpered in today then will start testing code. It compiles now.
Fritz
Hi Louie,
The 18F is jumpered in to the LABX1 and running fine. I set the OSC to run at 32Mhz. I am debugging with SEROUT2 command.
It appears that I am getting ACK from the Gyro because I am getting a debug statement out just after the "WHILE SSPCON2.6 : WEND.
I am freezing up though at "WHILE !SSPSTAT.0 : WEND". So I am not seeing any data out yet.
Here is that code segment along with my SEROUT2 Debug Statements in that section.
FOR e = 6 TO 11
SEROUT2 PORTB.7,84,[" READ GYRO ",10,10]
' Receive the 8 bit data from gyroscope
SSPCON2.3 = 1 ' Enable the Receiver to clock in data
WHILE !SSPSTAT.0: WEND ' Wait until Buffer Full bit is set
XYZ_RAM[e] = SSPBUF ' Load each XYZ_RAM byte in array
SEROUT2 PORTB.7,84,[" XYZ_RAM ",DEC XYZ_RAM[E],10,10]
' Master sends ACK for first 5 data packets
IF e != 11 THEN
SSPCON2.4 = 1 ' Initiate Acknowledge sequence
WHILE SSPCON2.4 = 1: WEND ' Wait until Acknowledge sequence Idle
ENDIF
NEXT e
Again your help is very much appreciated.
Fritz
Hey Fritz,
Cool project, close to the crash sensor I was working on.
It sounds as though there's nothing in the buffer to give, causing it to stay there. Now what would keep the gyro from actually working? CTRL_REG1 bits 2:0 enable/disable the 3 axes.
Busy looking at datasheet.....
Do you get an interrupt output signal at DRDY or INIT indicating the device is updating?
Edit:
I looked at the code I provided and noticed that I stopped using the INT1 and DRDY outputs, bits 7 and 3. So you'll have to set these in order to verify data updates.
Besides the typos, I see a few discrepancies within the comments and actual SSPBUF values so confirm what you need to use, sorry about that.
