[solved] i2c-slave stopped working

Postby karls0 » Sat Jul 09, 2022 9:42 am

Hi, I want to build a large display with 4 7-segment digits. A master-ESP32 gets the data to display via MQTT and sends them via an i2c-bus to the digits, which each have a ESP32-slave. The slaves shall compile their i2c-address from 3 jumpers according to their position in the display. So I only have one type of spare and can configure it via jumpers.

From https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/lib ... i2c-slave/ I found a library and copied the examples for testing with minor changes. This worked as expected.

When I added the code for reading the jumpers and changed
bool success = WireSlave.begin(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN, I2C_SLAVE_ADDR);
to
bool success = WireSlave.begin(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN, position);
where position is an int, it gave me

E (25) i2c: i2c_param_config(671): i2c clock choice is invalid, please check flag and frequency
[ 29][E][WireSlave.cpp:53] begin(): invalid I2C parameters

I changed back, but the error remains :-((

Any ideas what goes wrong here?
TIA, Karl

The overload options have gotten a bit confusing with the introduction of I2C slave mode. I would recommend you call Wire like this to make the instruction unambiguous:

Code: Select all

WireSlave.setPins(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN);
WireSlave.begin(I2C_ADDRESS);

Thank you for the tip, but it does not work for me. After changing the code I get:

Code: Select all

src/main.cpp:128:13: error: 'class TwoWireSlave' has no member named 'setPins'
   WireSlave.setPins(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN);
             ^~~~~~~
src/main.cpp:130:33: error: no matching function for call to 'TwoWireSlave::begin(int)'
   WireSlave.begin(I2C_SLAVE_ADDR);
Do you know what's going wrong here?
Thanks, Karl

Hi,
I switched to the Wire-library which was updated recently, following a tip from @Koepel I got in
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/i2c-slave-st ... /1010793/7
Now it works in one direction. I will test the other direction sometime this week.
Thank you, Karl

I don't know what WireSlave.h is. There is I2C slave functionality in the Wire library since v2.0.1.

I did try the Wir-library first, but it did not work. So I searched for a i2c-slave library as sayd in my first post. On arduino.cc I found the mentioned library, but in the meantime have switched to the latest version of Wire. Now everything works fine.
