Confusion on waking up Electron Asset Tracker

Firmware
1

HI there,

I’m a bit confused after trying to wake up electron with Asset Tracker shield.

I tried

System.sleep(SLEEP_MODE_DEEP, seconds);
and
System.sleep(WKP, RISING, seconds);

both making my electron sleep for ‘seconds’ nevermind the motion that is going on before time passes by.

From https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/particle-shields/#using-the-asset-tracker I read that accelerometer is connected to WKP for wake-up. Although I don’t know where I can set the motion treshold mentioned in ‘cross a threshold you set on the accelerometer’.

I tried using ‘accel’ object (defined as Adafruit_LIS3DH accel = Adafruit_LIS3DH(A2, A5, A4, A3); ) directly - like it is in https://github.com/benagricola/tracker/blob/master/main.cpp but that gives me compile errors about private methods.

Summing up - using Asset Tracker Kit I want an easy way to put electron in deep sleep having it wake up when motion is observed or some maximum time passes by. What am I missing?

Using latest firmware 0.5.1.

Thanks!

Maybe you are seeing this issue

You could ping Dave whether he's found a solution to this yet.

BTW, I found this thread via forum search for asset tracker and WKP

I literally read that topic and a few more before submitting.

I just saw that but… hmm I thought that this can’t just be a systematic problem with the board. Anyway - I Will try to ping Dave there and maybe do some measuring and hard-wiring the pin to test what’s going on.

Hey all, I’m going to close this topic and point to the other thread, since they’re running in parallel.
