Nrf52832 Communication with ESP8266 over i2c.

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

Hi 

I am trying to implement the communication between nrf52832 dk and nodemcu esp8266 over i2c.

My i2c code in nodemcu is working fine as I had tested the communication between two node mcu, now I am trying to implement the communication between nrf and esp.

I had tried the i2c scanner example but all the time it shows no device found. If needed I can share my nodemcu code here.

Thanks

So which one is the Master, and which one is the Slave?

Show a schematic of your connection between the 2 boards.

Are you sure you have (correct) pullups?

Have you used an Oscilloscope or analyser to see what's happening on the lines?

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

1. NRF is Mater and ESP is slave.

2. Schematic I can't share but give a brief here.

2.1 SCL _nrf to SCL_ esp.

2.2 SDA _nrf to SDA_ esp

2.3 GND.

2.4 10K pullup upto 3.3 V.

3. Yes I think I did.

4. No I don't have any.

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

I know but currently I don't have it.

So you're blind, then!

You'll just have to play by trial and error.

Try smaller pullups.

Can your nRF Master see any other Slaves?

If you make the nRF Slave, and ESP Master - can the ESP see the nRF ?

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

I am working on this approach.

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

nrf is able to detect other peripherals but can't able to detect the nodemcu.

So think about what that tells you ...

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

actually the issue is on ESP side. ESP doesn't support slave configurations. I am looking for solution on esp forum thanks.

So how did this ever work:

Anyhow, as it's not a Nordic issue, you mark your answer as the solution:
