Re: initializing I2C problem

2005-04-14 by neptunus1000

Hello,

"Was there indeed a pull-up resistor missing on the Olimex board?" 
YES there was one missing.

I put for the testing two pull-up on the bus of 4,7K and connected to 
the 3.3 Volt. When I'm debugging the program. The program is still 
hanging on the while(I2STAT != 0x08);. When I measure the both I2C 
lines with pull-up, the lines have 3.3 Volt. The program is not 
working. If I disconnect the pull-up resistor the SDA line is 3.3 
Volt and the SCL line is 0 Volt. This is oke if I look in the schema 
of the Olimex board. I really don't understand why it is not working.

Of course I can build some code for 'bit-bang', but if the uC has a 
I2C bus. Then it is ugly to build a 'bit-bang' routine.

I measured with a FLUKE 123 scope meter.

Best Regards
Roy
