nrf52832 TWI Read and Write

[Sushi_27]

Hi there,

I'm developing with the nRF52832 right now.

I want to communicate nrf52832 (as master) with MP2723 to read and write  data  with TWI.

Here's the functional description of the hardware:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.nrf52832.ps.v1.1%2Ftwi.html

You can use either of these two drivers:

http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/hardware/peripherals/i2c.html

http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrfx/drivers/twi/driver.html

okay.

I've tried the twi  example of sdk but I'am  facing issue to read the register data.

[Einarh]

Then please explain the issues you are facing.

/* TWI instance ID. */

#define TWI_INSTANCE_ID     0 // create a ID constant


// create a handle which will point to TWI instance, in this case its TWI_0
static const nrf_drv_twi_t m_twi = NRF_DRV_TWI_INSTANCE(TWI_INSTANCE_ID);

// a function to initialize the twi(i2c)
void twi_init(void)
{
  ret_code_t err_code; // a variable to hold error code

// Create a struct with configurations and pass the values to these configurations.
  const nrf_drv_twi_config_t twi_config = {
    .scl                = ARDUINO_SCL_PIN, // P0.27
    .sda                = ARDUINO_SDA_PIN, // P0.26 
    .frequency          = NRF_DRV_TWI_FREQ_100K, // set the communication speed to 100K, we can select 250k or 400k as well
    .interrupt_priority = APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_HIGH, // Interrupt priority is set to high, keep in mind to change it if you are using a soft-device
    .clear_bus_init     = false // automatic bus clearing 

  };

  err_code = nrf_drv_twi_init(&m_twi, &twi_config, NULL, NULL); // initialize the twi
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); // check if any error occured during initialization

  nrf_drv_twi_enable(&m_twi); // enable the twi comm so that its ready to communicate with the MP2723

}

/**
 * @brief Function for main application entry.
 */
int main(void)
{

  ret_code_t err_code; // a variable to hold error code value
  uint8_t address = 0x4b; // address of the MP2723
  uint8_t sample_data = 0x00; // sample data initialized with 0 value.

// initialize the Logger so that we can print msgs on the logger
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(NRF_LOG_INIT(NULL)); 
  NRF_LOG_DEFAULT_BACKENDS_INIT();

  NRF_LOG_INFO("Application Started");

  NRF_LOG_FLUSH(); // flushing is necessary if deferred is set to 1(check this video tutorial to know it better)

  twi_init(); // call the twi initialization function

// read some data from the sensor
  err_code = nrf_drv_twi_rx(&m_twi, address, &sample_data, sizeof(sample_data));
  if(err_code == NRF_SUCCESS) // if reading data was successful
  {

    NRF_LOG_INFO("Successfully detected a device at address: 0x%x", address); // let the users know its working
  
    }

    NRF_LOG_FLUSH(); // flushing is important, if you set the deffered to 1, if deffered is set to 0 then we don't need to flush the log buffer.
  


    while (true)
    {
        /* Empty loop. */
    }
}

I've attached the sample code.

I want to implement -

1) Read the Register of MP2723 and get register value (whatever it is) in terminal.

2) Write - to make changes and get that value in terminal.

Ok, that's what you want to do, but what is your issue? What isn't working as expected?

If you are unfamiliar with I2C or NCS and not sure how to get started, I would recommend having a look at the Nordic DevAcademy:
