> Note from datasheet, "1LSb=4g/4096 at 12bit representation, > ±2g Full-scale"
Precisely my point. All the datasheet says is : 1. It is +/-2G mode --> so Numerator is 4G. 2. We are using 12bits --> so Denominator is 2^12 = 4096. There is no clear reason/justification as to why 12bits was chosen in the first place. At this point unless someone from the design/original-driver team actually confirms why the 12bit representation was chosen, it is all conjecture on our part. If you have the actual LIS331DLH hardware, can you verify if the lower 4bits do actually contain any data (or are they always zero). This will help us decide whether to use them(16bit mode) or discard them(12bit mode)?... regards ChinmayVS -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
