Hmm, interesting, I appreciate the informative post, though you are correct about me being confused XD.I only have one 4.7k ohm resistor, so I had both SDA and SCL going through that to the voltage, but then that turned the entire system off, outputting nothing to the serial monitor. Is this just a case of requiring another resistor?
One other thing I should note is I have SQW/OUT wired to nothing.
Using one resistor wired to +5vdc and then to both SDA and SCL signal lines results in just shorting the two signal wires to each other, a total disaster as wiring schemes go. Yes each signal line requires its own separate pull-up resistor.
No problem not using the SQW/OUT pin, it's an optional feature that you are not required to use.
