my mistake, the temperature register is 00

and dont call me Shirley

Surely, they can't both be 01 ?

ok, still shooting in the dark here.

I noticed that there are 2 registers, a configuration (read/write, register 01) and a temperature (read only, register 01).

I added a write portion where the TXD pointer is pointing to a 2 component array (configuration register, value of zero). the TC74 wants to see its address with the write bit, then the register writing to and then the value. The nordic outputs the address, write bit, and then the pointer data so this seems compatible.

TC74 wants to see address with read bit, register to read, repeat of address, then gives the data (figure 3-1 of datasheet <link in original post>). So i have the RX pointer to a 3 element array (configuration register, TC74 address, and zero that should hopefully get filled with the value of the configuration register - 6th bit should indicate data ready 4-8 times per second) Figure 90 of the nrf52840 doesnt seem to agree with this scheme. and subsequently I never get notification that data is ready.

any help or ideas to try would be greatly appreciated.

   nrf_delay_ms(250);
    uint8_t transmit_buffer[2] = {0x01,0b00000000};//send 0 to configuration register 0x01 to enable normal mode (7th bit) and reset data ready (6th bit)
    uint8_t receive_buffer[3] = {0x01,0b1001000,0};//read from 0x01, repeat address (without read/write bit) due to change in dataflow direction, zero out data byte

i shouldve been more specific, i meant an example of just how to get the read byte in my code.

the manual says it is in pointer and to assign a location to pointer so i set NRF_TWIM0->RXD.PTR = temperature which i made a short since it is only 1 byte of data but temperature is always zero and my sensor is at room temperature so it should be a nonzero number.

RE: simple I2C question TC74

americanhoney — Thu, 30 May 2019 12:59:09 GMT

yes

awneil — Thu, 30 May 2019 12:54:13 GMT

Have you looked at the TWI examples in the SDK?

RE: simple I2C question TC74

americanhoney — Thu, 30 May 2019 12:52:57 GMT

can you provide example of how to properly get /access the byte read?

i got the error to go away using

NRF_TWI0->TASKS_STARTRX = 1;
while(NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_RXDREADY==0){}
NRF_TWI0->TASKS_STOP=1;
NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_RXDREADY=0;
temperature = NRF_TWI0->RXD;

but my temperature is zero. i must be receiving the temperature wrong.

From what I can see (red light 'pin' 46) i am getting an overrun error. I dont know how to fix or diagnose this though

int main(void)
{
    nrf_delay_ms(500);
    short temperature = 0;

    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(42); //output that needs to be off to power MEMs
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(46); //RED
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(47); //GREEN
    nrf_gpio_pin_clear(42);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(46);//turns off LED
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(47);//turns off LED

    NRF_TWIM0->ENABLE=0;//disable nordic as master
    NRF_TWIM0->PSEL.SCL=11;//P0.11
    NRF_TWIM0->PSEL.SDA=13;//P0.13
    NRF_TWIM0->FREQUENCY=0x01980000;//100kHz
    NRF_TWIM0->ADDRESS=(0b11001000); // 1001 000--> x100 100 | x 1 fpr read 0 for write
    NRF_TWIM0->RXD.PTR = temperature; //store 1 byte temperature in temperature variable
    NRF_TWIM0->SHORTS = 0;
    NRF_TWI0->INTENSET = 0x061C0202; // set interupts
    NRF_TWIM0->ENABLE=6;//enable nordic as master
    NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_ERROR=0;
    NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_STOPPED=0;
    nrf_delay_ms(250);
    NRF_TWI0->TASKS_STARTRX = 1;
    while (1)
    {
//    if(NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_STOPPED) nrf_gpio_pin_clear(46);
  //  if(NRF_TWI0->EVENTS_ERROR) nrf_gpio_pin_clear(47);//Always comes up with an error
