I2C Issues: writing to the slave without sending a stop condition?
-
Hey there!
I'm currently trying to write a driver for the MPU 9250 9 axis accelerometer sensor. For this I need the I2C communication to work like this:
To read the internal MPU-9250 registers, the master (LoPy) sends a start condition, followed by the I2C address and
a write bit, and then the register address that is going to be read. Upon receiving the ACK signal from the MPU-
9250, the master transmits a start signal followed by the slave address and read bit. As a result, the MPU-
9250 sends an ACK signal and the data.In order to write the registers-address to the Sensor I wanted to make use of the function I2C.writeto(addr, buf, , stop=True). It is important that the LoPy doesn't send a stop bit, so I wanted to set the stop=False. Unfortunately this causes an error: function takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given. The documentation says this function does only work for WiPy... Any Suggestions? Thanks!

@livius the reason why I wanted to use the Other function is having Control of the stop Bit.
I know "your" function Works, but does it Send a stop Bit When it's done?
Thank you for your help!

@cylex
did you tried without?
I2C.writeto(addr, buf)i2c in Lopy (pycom) have not stop paramter
But in this particular device it should work without problem without that parameter...

@robert-hh the second way ...

@cylex said in I2C Issues: writing to the slave without sending a stop condition?:
did you try it like that (as you posted)
I2C.writeto(addr, buf, , stop=True)
or that:
I2C.writeto(addr, buf, stop=True)

@cylex
for Lopy valid documentation is:
https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/library/machine.I2C.html#machine.I2Care you sure that you must disable stop?
If i remember that there was especially requiment for minimal stop that can not be shorter then some value - i do not remember if this was 1us or something like that.
But maybe i am wrong..
