Hi,
has anybody successfully tried to read ports from I2C connected PCF8574 with
pbLua (Beta-8) ?
Writing and setting ports is no problem, but reading ports fails. The return
value is every times 0 (not NIL)

No ideas yet, Christian. I do have a Mindsensors kit here to look
at over the weekend. Are you SURE you are sending the correct string
to read the registers?

Can you post the code you're using for the test here?

Cheers, Ralph

Hi Ralph,

we are using this code:

collectgarbage( "setpause", 110 );
function setupI2C(port)
  nxt.InputSetType(port,2)
  nxt.InputSetDir(port,1,1)
  nxt.InputSetState(port,1,1)
  nxt.I2CTimer(3)
  nxt.I2CInitPins(port)
end

function ReadPCF(port)
nxt.I2CSendData( port, string.char(0x73),1, 1 )
  while( 0 ~= nxt.I2CGetStatus(port)) do
  end
  s = nxt.I2CRecvData( port, 1 )
  print( "Daten " .. s )
end

setupI2C(4)
ReadPCF(4);

Do you think, we have to read I2C address more often ? Like ultrasonic sensor ?
The first read result of ultrasonic is allways 0.

Thanks for more :D
Bye
Christian

Hi,
we solved the problem... Lego-Firmware has own brain and handle read/write
with own mechanisms ;-( The last read/write bit is handled automatically by
lowlevel routines.
Reading the same address like writing solves the problem.


collectgarbage( "setpause", 110 );
function setupI2C(port)
  nxt.InputSetType(port,2)
  nxt.InputSetDir(port,1,1)
  nxt.InputSetState(port,1,1)
  nxt.I2CTimer(3)
  nxt.I2CInitPins(port)
end

function ReadPCF(port)
nxt.I2CSendData( port, string.char(118),1, 1 ) -- hier wird Geschrieben um zu
Lesen
while( 0 ~= nxt.I2CGetStatus(port)) do
end
  s = nxt.I2CRecvData( port, 1 )
  print( "Daten " . s )
  c1 = string.byte(s,1,1)
  print( string.format( "Result: %3i", c1 ) )
end

setupI2C(4);

ReadPCF(4);

Hmmm, why this ?

Bye
Christian

Hi,
or was it a quirk at my brain to address the i2c-read-address and hope to
receive usefull data ?

Currently it works for me when using allways the i2c-write address...


Are the any demos or samples for NXC, using the PCF8574 ?
1. setting i2c-pcf8574-io-ports
2. reading i2c-pcf8574-io-ports

Thanks in advance
Bye
Christian
