TWI Scanner no device was found

Hi, I'm using nRF52 DK (nRF52832) to detect my sensor. The sensor I2C address is 0x21 (verified by Arduino UNO).

My nRF52 DK (master) could detect the slave sensor before. But after I changed code somewhere (I forgot), the nRF52 DK cannot detect the slave sensor anymore. Any idea, pls? Thank you!

  • Also, try the Arduino demo code (easier to use than nRF5) to test the hardware. Arduino community has so many libraries & demo codes, all free to use, very handy. Then, Learn Arduino code (C++), translate the code to Nordic code (C). 

    If you have an oscilloscope and logic analyzer, measure the I2C signals (SDA and SCL). Find out the signal information (e.g. address is correct? ACK exists? sending command is correct? )
