Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense rev2 acquisitions are empty

Help

#1

Question/Issue:
Data acquisitions are empty.
Are all Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense rev2’s sensors broken?
Wrong firmware?

Project ID:
[553528]
Context/Use case:

Steps Taken:

  1. downloaded https://cdn.edgeimpulse.com/firmware/arduino-nano-33-ble-sense.zip
  2. updated the fw following Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense | Edge Impulse Documentation
  3. executed flash_windows.bat
  4. executed edge-impulse-daemon
  5. Once connected the device to the project, start acquisition (accelerometer + gyro), but the behavior with microphone is the same)
  6. Once data upload completed, the page shows all signals at 0 (see attached image)

Expected Outcome:
accZ cant’t be all 0

Actual Outcome:
[Describe what actually happened]

Reproducibility:

  • [x] Always
  • [ ] Sometimes
  • [ ] Rarely

Hi @robertof

Is this in relation to the LSM9DS1 support query? I believe that sensor fusion for this rev2 will not work the same.

i am having a similar issue, all seems to be connected correctly to my esp32 and mpu6050, yet the data in edge impulse seems empty. any solutions found for this yet?

#4

@Eoin I’m seeing other students still having this issue. Has there been any resolution or workarounds?

@Arjan can you help here do you know why users would not be able to collect data from the version 2 IMU when they have the latest firmware?

#6

Checking withe the embedded team, it seems the firmware should support both, but if you are seeing users with the latest firmware experiencing isssues we need to check that out. I only have v1 here so can’t validate the v2.

Hi @robertof ,

I don’t see any issues on my end. Can you check the initialization step from the serial debug? With the firmware you linked I get following on my rev2 board:
