I2C at expansion board



  • Hello there,

    im a bit confused about setting up the I2C Bus.
    I can use my sensor at Pin9 and Pin10 without any problems, but i cant manage to set up any other Pins for I2C. I read that this should be working but i couldnt get it done by now. I use FW 1.8.6

    The Sensor seems not to exist when i connect it to any other Pins. (i.e. Pins 11 and 12)

    Actually i use a class to control my sensor

    import time
    import pycom
    from machine import I2C

    class DHT12():

    def __init__(self,pinSDA='P9',pinSCL='P10',bd=100000):
        self.i2c = I2C(2, pins=(pinSDA,pinSCL)) 
        self.i2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=bd)
        self.addr = self.i2c.scan()  
    

    When i change pinSDA to P19 and pinSCL to P20
    i get I2C bus error and a strange behaviour

    Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.



  • @lopyusr I apologize, I misunderstood. I provided too much info on something not your issue.

    I'm assuming you are using this driver and example: HERE

    And documentation HERE



  • @ledbelly2142 Im using a DHT12 temperature and humidity sensor. I dont get the point with that battery reading code. I just wonder why it is working on the Pins 9 and 10 but not at any onthers :/ Yfyi i use the Expansion board also. Best regards for your help.



  • This post is deleted!


  • @ledbelly2142 It all works fine until i try changing the Pins i cant figure out what im doing wrong at this point :/



  • Im building a driver file. So im initing the sensor at given ports.

    When i try
    i2c = I2C(0,mode=I2C.MASTER,pins=('P9','P10'),baudrate=1000000)

    i get the following result

    i2c = I2C(0,mode=I2C.MASTER,pins=('P20','P19'),baudrate=1000000)

    results in

    when i try i2c.scan() at this config i dont get a result.

    @lopyusr said in I2C at expansion board:

    self.i2c = I2C(2, pins=(pinSDA,pinSCL))
    self.i2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=bd)

    Please try the following instread:

    self.i2c = I2C(2, mode=I2C.MASTER, pins=(pinSDA,pinSCL),baudrate=bd)
    self.i2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=bd)

    Please also remember that I2C bus nr. 2 is emulated in software while I2C bus 0 and 1 are hardware I2C ports, so you might not get reliable communication at this speed when using bus nr. 2



  • @lopyusr Try this before you class or def

    i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER, baudrate=100000, pins=('P8','P9'))
    

    What are you init -ing?

    Or maybe try this

    def __init__(self, i2c, address=0x29): # where0x29 is your device I2C address
            self.i2c = i2c
            self._address = address
