Greentings!
I am working on an OLA, trying to log 9DoF IMU plus a MS8607 Qwiic Sensor data as fast as possible (preferably 100Hz). However, I can only log data at ~70Hz (without plugging in MS8607) and 10Hz (with MS8607 plugged). After a few attempts, I still have not found any solution to logging at higher rates. Please advice! Thank you.
Also, I tried to modify the firmware of OLA a little bit, to store log data into memory and dump into the SD card every few minutes. The reason I did so is that I wish to lower the power draw, since writing to SD card frequently may consume more energy. But I also encountered a few problems while doing so: 1, logging rate becomes even slower, which is 4 Hz with MS8607 plugged; 2, I can only utilize ~300KB out of the 1MB onboard memory.
To sum up, my questions are:
-
How could I increase the logging frequency as much as possible?
-
Does my modification to the firmware help to reduce power consumtion?
-
If the answer is a yes for the previous question, is it possible to maxmize memory usage, hence minimize frequency of writing to SD card?
Thank you for your help! Have a great day.
