Uno wifi rev2 i2c trying to run bmp180 and mcp3424

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 12:11am

hi all. im new here. also comparatively i am a newbie. recently i have tried to add thermocouples to an existing project using an mcp3424. i have bashed and smashed my way through several libraries on git hub and finally got one to work (the one form u chip ) measuring all four channels and printing temperatures correctly. when using the other libraries weird stuff would happen eg. commenting out a serial print line returned crazy results.
another library designed to read all four channels of the mcp3424 was just a fantastic random number generator no matter the configuration.
i figure there must be some low level timing issue that i don't currently have the brain resources to understand or fix.
now though, as i have some code that delivers, when i try to add the bmp180 air pressure module(adafruit libraries)i again get crazy results. for the air pressures i get sub sea pressures and for the temps i get hot coffee temps. neither of which are correct. if i take either sensor away i get coerrect results. the address for the mcp3424 is set to 0x6E and the bmp 180 is 0x77
i tried running the i2c speed test and it found both addresses plus the one for the crypto locker and another mcp3424 that is not being read yet.
by themselves i can get both modules to work perfectly but together, not so.
if i try to run the bmp test code with everytihng connected the output say it cant find a valid sensor however when i disconnect the mcp3424 it springs to life. as i reconnect either the clock or data line the results go mental.
. i am still thinking it is a timing, speed or bit alignment issue- not reading the bit or byte i think i am etc.
hope someone out there with a touch of the clevers can maybe point me in a direction of where to start looking.

cheers
p.s sorry but i cant seem to find the code blocks button mentioned on other posts. to post my code and i tried to cut and paste code but an error came up saying that i couldnt post more than two links (??)

Hi, In order to help you we need to see a section of code and the stack trace (results of the errors from the compiler) before we can help you. If you are cutting and pasting between sections of example code, you need to make sure your sections of code are complete.

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 12:23am

wow thanks for the rapid reply, can you tell me exactly how to post the code and or stack trace?

anon52073450 · August 20, 2021, 12:45am

Hi, when entering a new post, click the preformatted text option </> and type your code and or compiler results

anon52073450 · August 20, 2021, 12:47am

Also indicate the line of code where the compiler is indicating the error. This will help us debug your
code.

found it
there is no error with compiling.

Great news, good luck with your project

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 12:53am

hmmmm i thin you misunderstand the problem
there is no issue with the compiling but the original issues stilll stand.

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 12:58am

interupt issue maybe

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 1:04am

sorry, what i found was the button to post code, not the solution to the problem

anon52073450 · August 20, 2021, 1:14am

Split the modules out to separate sketches. One for each sensor. Try getting them to work by themselves. Then when both are working you can more easily see if there is a conflict between either sensor data or pin configuration.

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 1:15am

yep done that

truncated_trunk · August 20, 2021, 1:22am

as above individually everything works. but together it doesn't. the bmp part of the code works when the mcp is disconected and vice a versa
