Hello!
I have been working with an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense and in order to reduce the consumption of energy I was trying to turn off the gyroscope (in the respective datasheet, I understand that it consumes a relatively high amount of energy compared to other components in the integrated IMU).
I attempted to modify the writeRegister(LSM9DS1_ADDRESS, LSM9DS1_CTRL_REG1_G, 0x78); with 0x78 -> 0x00. I think it would be enough but the consumption of energy remains the same as before, nothing changed! According to the datasheet, setting the three MBSs of the CTRL_REG1_G register to 0 puts the gyroscope into power-down mode.
I'm not sure if this modification alone is sufficient or if I need to do something else. By the way, I read from other forum that: "The setting may only work when the gyro is disabled..." So, is disabling the gyroscope equivalent as turning it off?

The datasheet will tell, or You can wait for a helper having the specific knowledge in this matter.
What forum would that be? A respected, reputated forum or a common "gutter"?
There's a lot of misinformation on the Internet.
