Just connected a HUZZAH32 ESP32 and ran the i2c-scanner sketch. I first used the level-shifter then I removed it and ran the sketch.
After 5 minutes I gave up on the level-shifter hookup. Never got a result from the sketch.
I removed the level-shifter and ran the sketch again. After two minutes I did get a report back from the sketch:
16:50:23.534 -> ⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮Done.
16:52:15.048 -> Found 0 device(s).
I hate to assume that both of the HUZZAH32 boards I tested with are defective. They both run BLINK without fail, but I need them to run LCD's and neither will do that.
Will continue testing.
Thank you.
