3D Magnetic Sensor Output

[#1]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to read the data coming from the Infineon 3D magnetic sensor in C#/C++.
Currently I'm sucesssfully connecting to the COM Port using the C# SerialPort class but I don't know how to exchange data between the c#-application and the sensor.

Does someone have an example or can guide me into the right direction for the way of achieving this?

Thanks in advance

Tim

Hi,

Which board are you using? 3D Magnetic Sensor 2GO?

Hello,
I'm trying too to connect to the sensor via USB and C#, but I have no idea how to start and stop the device, and how to decode the data.
Some help would be hugely appreciated,

Do you use the official firmware or your customized firmware.

If you develop the firmware by yourself, you could define the protocol as you like.

If you will use the official firmware, then some reverse engineering is expected. The official firmware don't have source code released with it.

I am currently using the official firmware, and I managed to retrieve the data, but I can't figure out how to decode the bytes I receive. They have random length and have little constancy between them

I have tried to request the source code of the official firmware. But Infineon refused to provide it.

Now I am using my customized firmware. It's not very difficult to write the driver for the magnetic sensor. You should have a try.

Yes, I am now trying too to program my own firmware...
