Hi
Just been looking at some code dealing with L3GD20 Gyro.
Could someone explain to me why bit 8 is set in this piece of code.

Code:
Read_Gyro:
   I2cstart
    I2cwbyte L3GD20_W
    I2cwbyte &B1010_0110                                    ' (OUT_TEMP AND &B10000000)  <--------------------

   I2cstart
    I2cwbyte L3GD20_R
    I2crbyte Temp , Ack
    I2crbyte Status , Ack
    I2crbyte Xl , Ack
    I2crbyte Xh , Ack
    I2crbyte Yl , Ack
    I2crbyte Yh , Ack
    I2crbyte Zl , Ack
    I2crbyte Zh , Nack
   I2cstop
 


Referring to the data sheet the out_temp reg is &B010_0110 (Reg26) page 35.
Is it something to do with when receiving multi bytes in one go with out stopping the bus??

Thanks

Datasheet page 29 :
Quote:
In order to read multiple bytes, it is necessary to assert the most significant bit of the sub-
address field. In other words, SUB(7) must be equal to 1 while SUB(6-0) represents the
address of first register to be read.
