About this manual

The document provides configuration instructions for the FC30 inertial sensor, enabling it to act as a mouse button by detecting single or double mechanical taps. When configured for click recognition, the device generates an interrupt signal on pin PC upon detecting a tap in any direction.

The guide details specific I2C command sequences required to enter single-click and double-click modes, as well as commands to exit these modes and return to orientation detection. It also covers power-down mode management to reduce current consumption.

  • Exiting click recognition mode
  • Power-down Mode

Frequently asked questions

What happens to orientation detection when the FC30 is in click recognition mode?

The orientation detection function is not available while the device operates in click or double-click recognition mode.

How does the FC30 signal a detected tap?

The device generates an interrupt request on the inertial interrupt pin PC when tapped.
