Hello,
I'm trying to connect a MAX1236 via I2C to my Arduino Pro board with ATMEGA328.
What is very unclear to me is which pins are used on the Arduino board for SDA/SCL
I've tried pins 20/21 (red this somewhere) also 27/28 (which doesn't work either), connecting a scope to these lines did not show any activity.
Also, how can I override the default settings (I would like to use 27/28 as they are default for ATMEGA328)
Any help greatly appreciated !
The correct pins are 27 / 28, these are physical pin numbers on the chip used as A4 & A5
Be sure to add 4K7 pull up resistors to each pin.
Also, how can I override the default settings
You can't it is built into the hardware.
Are the internal pull up resistors not being used ?
Yes but they are too big to do the job correctly.
Great, I'll try this tonight!
This explains what the signals look like without the pull up resistors:-
If you are having difficulty connecting to things run an I2C bus scanner, this is just one of them:-
