I2C problem with Wire.endTransmission

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

Hello!

I've just started up a project i've been chasing parts for for quite a while, but now at last i've started programming.

Im connecting a MD03 motor controllet to an arduino mega 2560 via I2C.

I've looked at some examples, and foud several examples of this exact application.

So fas so good. But when i try to get the firmware number from the motorcontroller and print it in the serial monitor i get nothing. I looked around this forum and found that some have had the problem that the Wire.endTransmission command shuts down the USB connection, but I have'nt seen a single solution to this problem.

Does someone have a solution to this problem or at least an idea?

Thanks!

This is your MD03, MD03 Technical Documentation ?
The Wire.endTransmission shutting down the USB connection. I have never heard of that.
They provide code (not Arduino code) for the I2C, but I don't understand that. But they say it is the same as the 24C04, so it should be easy.

The first thing to do is the i2c scanner, Arduino Playground - I2cScanner

Post your code please.
