I2C Rasp Master Arduino Mega Slave / Remote I/O Error 121 / prg runs for few sec

Hi everybody,

i have a Raspi as Master and Arduino Mega as Slave which are connected via I2C. I am trying to continuously read the data of my sensors connected to analog Pins A0-A3 on my Mega.

The Programm on my raspi runs for a few seconds (sometimes longer than that) returning the values and then crashes.

Here ist my Python script that is running on the raspi:

import smbus
import time


bus = smbus.SMBus(1)

SLAVE_ADDRESS = 0x08

def requestreading():
    block = bus.read_i2c_block_data((SLAVE_ADDRESS), 0, 8)

    print(block)


while True:
    requestreading()
    time.sleep(0.1)

it gives out the error message:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
requestreading()
block = bus.read_i2c_block_data((SLAVE_ADDRESS, 0, 8)
OSError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error

My Arduino Code looks like this:

#include <Wire.h>

int SLAVE_ADDRESS = 0x08;
int analogPin1 = A0;
int analogPin2 = A1;
int analogPin3 = A2;
int analogPin4 = A3;


void setup(){
  Wire.begin(SLAVE_ADDRESS);
  Wire.onRequest(sendAnalogReading);
}

void loop(){
  
  
}

void sendAnalogReading(){
 
  uint16_t reading1 = analogRead(analogPin1);
  uint16_t reading2 = analogRead(analogPin2);
  uint16_t reading3 = analogRead(analogPin3);
  uint16_t reading4 = analogRead(analogPin4);


Wire.write((char *) &reading1, 2);
Wire.write((char *) &reading2, 2);
Wire.write((char *) &reading3, 2);
Wire.write((char *) &reading4, 2);


}

i guess the problem is the continuous loop?? is this a timing issue?

Many thanks
