Thanks alzhao! I was actually in the process of editing it.

alzhao · 2016-05-17T15:10:35.000Z

seems you didn’t install kmod-i2c-gpio-custom

rcpaul · 2016-05-17T15:11:50.000Z

OK I will try that tomorrow thanks!!

rcpaul · 2016-05-18T09:32:59.000Z

OK this is what I’m getting now, any ideas??

I have GPIO’s 15 and 16 connected to 47K resistors and 3.3v.

You didn’t load the i2c module correct. First you need to install the correct module or compile it in your firmware.

opkg update

opkg install kmod-i2c-gpio-custom

rmmod gpio-button-hotplug

insmod i2c-dev
insmod i2c-gpio-custom bus0=0,15,16
ic2detect -y 0

rcpaul · 2016-05-19T11:54:05.000Z

OK this is what I’m showing today, I have a 47k resistor connected to GPIO 15 and 3.3v and a 47k resistor connected to GPIO 16 and 3.3v, its showing .50V going into GPIO 15 and .50V going into GPIO 16. SDA from my analog to digital converter is connected to GPIO 15 and SCL from my analog to digital converter is connected to GPIO 16. For the analog signal going to the ADC I have an adjustable voltage that can go from 0v to 2v or more.

You need to install “i2c-tools” to get “i2cdetect” …

rcpaul · 2016-05-20T05:31:30.000Z

OK thanks martinayotte!

I will try it tonight.

rcpaul · 2016-05-20T07:18:02.000Z

OK martinayotte, this is what I’m getting now (I still have a 47k resistor connected to GPIO 15 and 3.3v and a 47k resistor connected to GPIO 16 and 3.3v, its showing .50V going into GPIO 15 and .50V going into GPIO 16.

Sorry but I’m new at this and I’m trying to learn.

Thanks for all your help!!!

martinayotte · 2016-05-22T01:10:18.000Z

You did a typo : it is not ic2detect but i2cdetect …

BTW, for PullUps, 47K is not the recommended value, the recommended one is 4K7 (ie.: 4.7K)

rcpaul · 2016-05-22T01:12:17.000Z

OK thanks martinayotte! I will try later today.

Really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

rcpaul · 2016-05-23T10:41:06.000Z

martinyotte,

I made some progress this weekend! Would you mind looking over my screenshots and tell me if it looks like everything is connected correctly?

I’m able to see “4d” when I have the SCL and SDA connected to the GPIO’s one way and I don’t see anything if I reverse the connections.

Unfortunately I don’t see anything if I apply, disable, or change the voltage going to Ain on my ADC.

Here’s the ADC I’m using:

Thanks!

martinayotte · 2016-05-24T03:33:18.000Z

Hi Paul,

The link to the spec was a wrong one, it was the MCP3202 using SPI, but fortunately, seeing your schematic. I saw that you’re using MCP3221 with I2C.

And Yes, you succeeded the connection when with wiring that gave you the 0x4D, since it is actually what is written in the specs.

So, your next step is to actually writing some software, using python smbus for example …

rcpaul · 2016-05-24T03:46:49.000Z

OK but should I not see something if I adjust the voltage going to Ain?

rcpaul · 2016-05-24T10:39:55.000Z

OK martinayotte now I’m really lost

I was able to install python mini on my domino, but I don’t know how to install smbus.

I was thinking that I would be able to see some kind of change in i2cdetect -y 0 if I adjusted the voltage of Ain on my ADC. So now you are saying I need smbus to see this change?

Also I purchased an i2c LCD for testing but I can’t seem to find a tutorial on how to control it, alzhao had referred me to this link:

gl-inet.com

We bring secure network hardwares and softwares to homes, office buildings and industrial facilities, inspiring a smarter lifestyle for the world.

but its not really clear or complete for i2c.

Thanks!

martinayotte · 2016-05-24T23:53:06.000Z

Hi Paul,

I2cdetect is only a tool to discover the presence of I2C devices, but it doesn’t do any thing else.

If you wish to do transaction at command line, the i2cset and i2cget is what you need, try “i2cget -y 0 0x4d” and see what it is returning.

python smbus is only a suggestion if you want to use python to control the bus.

One of the implementation can be found here : pysmbus/smbus.py at master · bjornt/pysmbus · GitHub

If you wish to write in C, you can open the I2C bus device as a file localed in /dev/i2c-0 for example, and doing some read/write operation on the device.

According, to the specs, ADC conversion seems to be started when executing a single write to the device and then reading it returned value.

For the LCD, you should look at its specs, there is similar transactions to achieve, there is probably severals registers to initialize.

rcpaul · 2016-05-25T00:08:41.000Z

OK thanks for the help again martinayotte!

rcpaul · 2016-05-25T09:19:18.000Z

martinayotte,

Great news! “i2cget -y 0 0x4d” works! And if I adjust the voltage going to my ADC Ain I can see different readings! (screenshots attached)

Now I asked my app developer to look into python smbus for me.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Paul

martinayotte · 2016-05-25T09:30:41.000Z

Good !

Then, your developer should look for python smbus that support read_block() since, I think the link I provided only support read_byte(), because your have 2 bytes to be read to get the 12bits of the ADC, but some other libs are providing that.

For better tests, maybe your should try “i2cget -y 0 0x4d 0x00 w” to see if it answer with 2 bytes properly.

rcpaul · 2016-05-25T09:32:41.000Z

OK I will let him know thanks again!
