Is there an error in the I2C communication program call?

Hi zz2633105,

So, not trying to be mean here. But if you want an answer to your problems on the forums you need to structure your question in such a way that I can answer it. You just gave me a lot of code dump with no context.

Can you please try to narrow down the exact line of code that has the issue and then ask me questions about that? This way I can actually answer your question.

Also, maybe give me some pictures of your setup, details about what you are trying to do, etc. Holding back info just makes it harder to help you.

...

Please use the

Code: Select all

tag on your code so I can read it.

That code looks a lot like my library for the PCA9685 chip available here: https://github.com/adafruit/micropython ... it-pca9685 but some things are changed. I'm using that library with my servo shield, and it works fine, so if it doesn't work for you, perhaps it's because of the changes you made?

[deshipu]

Ah, I see the problem. You are using i2c from pyb, while this library expects i2c from the machine module, which has a different API.

Can you give detailed advice?

Thank you very much, I think I've learned.

Hi, I have solved this problem. How do I delete posts?

[kwagyeman]

No need. Just try to keep your questions to one post for a particular issue.

Hi,

I fixed the code format for you, next time please use the code tags.

Thanks.

Not sure how I can be more detailed. You need to use this: http://docs.openmv.io/library/machine.I2C.html and not this: http://docs.openmv.io/library/pyb.I2C.html

[deshipu]

Looking at your "schematic" I can also see that you don't have pull-up resistors on the I2C lines. You need those for I2C communication to work -- perhaps you should read more about the I2C protocol.

This issue was resolved on github. Seems we have a Chinese community and we don't know about it
