Any way to make this sensor works at 64Hz? #75

Hello team,

I have buy the sensor from different sources, I have tried with different board (including Arduinos, Teensys, Raspeberries pi...) and in general I am spending a lot of time and effort (and some cash as well) to make it works beyond 16Hz. In the development board that you provide it does well though.

So please, could I receive a lead in which combination of things can it make it work at 64Hz? If this would be possible to be done in a Arduino programmable board would be awesome.

Teensy model .? with clock speed of __?

Normally, all you need in order to make it work at 64Hz is to:

  1. Configure it to measure at 64Hz
  2. Be able to read-out the data fast (1MHz I2C SCL)
  3. Do the calculation really fast

Best regards
