example I2C bus talking to MMA8653FC

I am having a problem talking to a MMA8653FC 3-axis Accelerometer from NXP.

I never see the clock signal generated.

I am using the nRF52 lib, communicating to a nRF5280 chip mounted on a MDBT50Q module from Raytac Corp.

Can someone point me to some example code using the nRF52 talking to any Accelerometer.

  • The code builds without errors or warning. Below is the pca10056.h that I used for my testing. The only line changed for the TWI testing was the line #define ARDUINO_SDA_PIN             29    // SDA signal pin. The 28 was changed to 29.

    I am starting to agree with you, there is a PCB problem.

    That should be no problem, just remember to check the Pin Assignment section before changing which pins are used for different purposes. Especially pay attention to the pins recommended for low-frequency signals, since they are close to the radio( I am unable to check this for you since I do not know exactly which SoC variant you are working with.

    I am starting to agree with you, there is a PCB problem.

    Regardless of your SDA pin change, you should be able to see the SCL signal generated from the example.
    If you have many any other modifications to the TWI_scanner example, than the pca10056.h changes mentioned earlier, it would also be beneficial if you could share your entire source code.

    Do you have a Development Kit at hand, and if so; could you load your application on to the development kit, to verify that you are able to see the output as expected on your oscilloscope?
    This would help us verify if the issue is with the PCB, or the code.

    For future reference, please use the "Insert code" option when posting code to DevZone, to significantly increase readability.

    Best regards,
