Please include the following information, in order for us to help you as effectively as possible.

  • What product do you wish to discuss? RAK463

  • What firmware are you using? VSCode/latformIO

  • What firmware version?

  • Computer OS? (MacOS, Linux, Windows) Windows

  • What Computer OS version? Windows 11

  • How often does the problem happen? Always

  • How can we replicate the problem? Yes

  • Provide source code if custom firmware is used or link to example if RAKwireless example code is used.

I read in a ST forum that the Device Register responsable by INT2 it is LIS3DH_CTRL_REG6. The value is defined at he library SparkFunLIS3DH.h. Could I redefine the value using Platformio.ini as the example below? What is the best method to do these configurations?

I found the LIS3DH documentation and there I found the INT1/INT2 registers status behavior control: https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/learn_tutorials/5/9/6/LIS3DH_AppNote_DocID_18198rev1.pdf

I am trying to do this avoid, when it is possible, the conflicts in the nRF52840 pins.

I never disabled both interrupts due to the way I am using the RAK1904, but from the code I see

	// Select interrupt pin 1
	data_to_write = 0;
	data_to_write |= 0x40; // AOI1 event (Generator 1 interrupt on pin 1)
	data_to_write |= 0x20; // AOI2 event ()
	rak1904_writeRegister(LIS3DH_REG_CTRL3, data_to_write);

	// No interrupt on pin 2
	rak1904_writeRegister(LIS3DH_REG_CTRL6, 0x00);

from that I guess just

	// no interrupt on pin 1
	rak1904_writeRegister(LIS3DH_REG_CTRL3, 0x00);

	// No interrupt on pin 2
	rak1904_writeRegister(LIS3DH_REG_CTRL6, 0x00);

should work.

We are looking for possibility to disable RAK1904 interruption, because in some modules arrange in our solutions (RAK19007, RAK4631, RAK12500, RAK1904, RAK1906, RAK15007, RAK5801), we will have a INT conflict between RAK1904 and RAK5801. To disable one of RAK1904 could be a possibility to do a workaround in the conflict.

What do you think?

Yes, that could work.
I checked the schematics, unfortunately both INT are hardwired to the connector without 0 Ohm resistors. So we cannot disconnect them complete.

Maybe you can try to disable the INT’s with the code I showed above.

I will do your suggestion.

Thank you by your support.
