Hi,

<< to those of you who already used the ADXL312 or similar >>

I have an SPI/I2C-Accelerometer (ADXL312) from Analog Devices which I 
want to use in combination with an ATXmega128A1.

I have already successfully set up the I2C connection, but I cant get 
any valid data from the x,y and z registers.

I can read the DEVICE_ID and my initialisation looks as follows:
DATA_FORMAT: 0x08
POWER_CTL: 0x08
INT_ENABLE: 0x80

After that, the only data I get from the X0,X1,Y0,.. registers are 
those:
x00 xf0   X0,1
x00 xf0   Y0,1
x00 xf0   Z0,1

Does anyone know what might be the reason for that? Did I forget a part 
of the initialisation?

BTW, this is a complete register dump, done with a multi-byte read.

Hi,

check Vdd (range 2.0-3.6V). If you have a logic level analyzer link an 
image of the data.

Everything else looks fine, but check the UG anyway:

Unfortunately I've used it with 4-wire SPI bus, on Atmega328.

Check my first steps here:

Hey,

I solved the problem, I did a Design-Mistake with some 'Do-Not-Connect' 
Pins ;)

You'll find my code in the attachment, in case someone or 'whatisthis' 
will need it.. ;)
The twi_master_driver.* files are based on a AppNote from Atmel for the 
XMEGA-TWI.

Cheers
