Help with receiving ACK from slave on i2c bus.

Status
Not open for further replies.
I am not recieving an ACK. Wen I check the carry bit after that routine, it is clear. SO it is sending a NACK.

Which is the 4th pin on the chip tied to Vdd... I have Vdd, IO Vdd and I have the ADDR bit tied to GND (selecting the slave address, I could choose Vdd if I wanted to). I have the Interrupt (pin 7) floating?
 
NOTE: The SDA and SCL Lines ar pulled high by IO vdd by the eval board I'm using from Kionix. Attached is the schematic.
 
According to the data sheet pins 3, 7, 10 & 11 are all Vdd pins and pins 6, 8 & 9 are GND pins.

Do you have a local shop where you could buy a 24LC16 serial EEPROM? They only cost $0.25 from Microchip so shouldn't be too expensive in a retailer.

Edit, see attached.

Mike.

Yes, I have all Vdds and ground tied correctly. I need to buy a few things anyway so I will get a few 24LC16s as well and have them shipped fast. I assume you are familiar with this chip and want to ensure my code works with this?

How about the clock pulse delays in my code? if the max i2c rate is 400khz, I would assume the delays are OK?
 
Yes, I'm familiar with that chip and have one on hand that I can hook up to a pic for testing.

I didn't bother checking your delays as the chip you're talking to can run at >3MHz. I did notice you had remove a delay from the receive routine, that is needed.

I just put some EEPROMs on order. It will likely be a few days at least. I am using the 32kHz internal clock...that is fine?
 
Mike; When I use your I2cInit routine before I do the start command, the bus is not fixed and keeps pulsing the SCL (while looking for SDA to go high). However On my scope, I do see the SDA line High?

Any thoughts?
 
Hi Mike, Without using your i2cInit routine, my code goes into an infinite loop while checking for clock stretching during the ACK. It does not even get to the point where it checks for low SDA.

Any thoughts on this? I stripped my code for easier troubleshoot. I have tried 3 different Evaluation boards...

Thanks Again
Steve

If that is the case then something other than the pic is holding the clock line low. I have no idea what would cause that.

Mike.
 
Extremely odd because I can see the SCL line go high on my oscilliscope during that routine. It makes me think it is still something with the code. I should be in bank 0 for all of the communication right? The only time I should be in bank 1 is to set the TRIS ports?

Steve
 
Mik; I found something interesting; When I disconnect the accelerometer from the circuit during the issue I have, both the SCL and SDA lines go low. When the accelrometer is connect, both lines are high..

Any thoughts here?
 
How can they be low? The pins should both be input and the pullups should pull them high. Something is wrong with the hardware.

Mike.
