ADXL-345 problem

Hi there, So I try to configure input shaping with my Adxl and got “Invalid adxl ID (got ff and e5) “ So what I have checked: I wired it to the Rpi Checked include boards/rpi/config and sensors/ rpi-adxl Wire length. About 80cm. Checked faulty wire as well. Still, no response when I try to run Measure_Axes_Noises. Please help

usually do to wiring. The ADXL are extremely sensitive to interference. Do a search on here and you will find lots of posts regarding how to setup using ethernet cable

The RJ11 ?
blacksmithforlife
RJ11 is the connector on the end of the cable, I am talking about CAT5/6 cable itself

Saw that... But the result is not realy helpful I guess

that thread details exactly which wires in the CAT5/6 to solder where - so not sure what else you are looking for?

I mean, This fault can only be fixed by replacing it to use CAT5/6 cable ? Nothing else interfere >

You have a wiring issue. Either you can spend a bunch of time trying to fix the cable you have, or you can make a new one with cat5/6 and know that your issue isn't because of the cable

ok, i gues i'll try with cat 5/6 then, and about the connector. which should be used? and will i have to solder anything ?

yes solder short wires to ADXL (make sure they are good quality), then connect using fitting meant for moving (like jst-xm, microfit, etc) see https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1100371794961125437/1110956447480684605

[include RatOS/boards/rpi/config.cfg
[include RatOS/sensors/rpi-adxl345.cfg]
[include RatOS/boards/rpi/config.cfg
