SHT25 interface with nordic

[Mr.NCK]

Hi,

I am Using nrf52832DK and SHT25 breakout board. I can't able to read a device address using "TWI Scanner". But, I can able to scan the sht25 device address by Arduino I2c scanner.

I need your help to make work nordic's TWI Scanner for the sht25 breakout board or suggest me the code for the proper interface of sht25 with nrf52832.

What "breakout board" are you using?

Show a schematic of how you have connected them together.

Have you checked basics - like pullups?

Have you checked against the datasheet: 

www.sensirion.com/.../Sensirion_Humidity_Sensors_SHT25_Datasheet.pdf

Have you used an oscilloscope to see what's actually happening on the wires?

See: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/72492/error-in-establishing-a-connection-between-nrf52840-dk-board-and-sht21-sensor-using-twi-module

[Mr.NCK]

thanks 

1) https://www.evelta.com/evelta-sht25-i2c-temperature-and-humidity-sensor/

2) I have just connected the SCL and SDA pin of the breakout board with nrf52 dk pin 27 And 26

3) that is Breakout right??

4) kindly guide me on what are the things. I need to check

5) I don't have oscilloscope

Hardware connection has no problem

The fact that the TWI scanner does not detect the Slave rather suggests that there is a hardware problem.

Again:

Is your code correctly configured to use those DK pins?

Are you sure that nothing else on the DK is using those pins?

And:

[Mr.NCK]

Yes, our code was correctly configured with DK pins

yes, we didn't connect anything on those pins

Is this a breakout board right so manufacturer provides the pullups

Mr.NCK said:

That wasn't the question.

You need to check that there isn't anything on the DK itself that is using those pins.

You can't just assume that - what does its documentation tell you?

See I am once again explaining you clearly. First understand our problem. 
SHT20 break out board ( Which will have pull up )
When I am working with arduino there is no problem sht20 works perfectly.
But when I use nRF52 DK it is not working. Those pins in nRF52 is only connected with sht 20 sensor and we are also defining that in firmware board file. 
SHT20 is not detecting only with nRF52 DK. 
Please have a clear understand of our problem then explain and give solution. 




If it's sht20 issue then it should not worked with arduino.
Is there any other way to read sht20 with nRF52 in firmware wise.
If you have any idea regarding tell us.

Hello,

I will have to reiterate what @awneil has already asked here - how do you know that the SHT20 breakout board / module provide the pullups? You may not just assume.
Do you have a link to the specific module or breakout board you are using, or specifically to the user guide / data sheet of the module?

The Arduino might be providing the pullups here. In which case, the nRF needs to be configured to do the same in order for the TWI communication to work. Again, as @awneil has already mentioned - the fact that the example is unable to find the sensor indicates that there is a hardware problem.

Would you mind sharing the code section where you setup and configure the TWI peripheral?
It would also be helpful to see the changes you have made to the boardfile.

This could for example happen if the sensor does not provide pullups but the Arduino enables pullsups behind the scenes. We will know more about this when we get to see the modules / breakoutboards user manual or data sheet.

Looking forward to resolving this issue together.
