twi, mpu650 + hmc5883l

[omar]

HI, i m beginner in TWI with nrf52832. i want to write a bit in a registre of hmc5883l but i didnt succeed. what i want to do is :

writeByte(devAddr, regAddr, b) ==> ( 0x1E,0x37,1)

tgis my own code that i tried but i didn't understand why is not working! help if u can

    };

    err_code = nrf_drv_twi_init(&m_twi, &twi_config, NULL, NULL);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    nrf_drv_twi_enable(&m_twi);

Hi @omar,

I think you are setting the bypass bit wrong. You need to write a '1' to the I2C_BYPASS_EN bit in the INT_PIN_CFG register in the MPU6050, not in the magnetometer. In other words, try something like this:

bool writeBit()
{
        uint8_t packet[2] = {0x37, 2}; // <- WRITE THE VALUE 2 TO REGISTER 0x37
        ret_code_t err_code;
        err_code = nrf_drv_twi_tx(&m_twi,0x68,packet,sizeof(packet),false); // <- USE THE ADDRESS OF THE MPU
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

   return err_code;
}

After doing this you should be able to get a response from the magnetometer by using the twi_scanner example in our SDK.

The three chip are included in the same card, we use gyro 87 and the mpu6050 is actived by default but the HMC5883L need the bypass active to get the communication with it. The problem is resolved and now I get communication with all chips, we get library for NRF51 that simplify the communication TWI so we have updated it to NRF52 and we use it, one library for both MPU6050 and HMC5883L.
