I2C on expansion board Duet3HC

[Nikhil]

@dc42 okay will define these micros.
monitor task for now just sending a command and receiving the data

for (;;)
	{
		TaskBase::Take();
		if (running)
		{

			CanMessageBuffer buf(nullptr);
			//	CanMessageAccelerometerData& msg = *(buf.SetupStatusMessage<CanMessageAccelerometerData>(CanInterface::GetCanAddress(), CanInterface::GetCurrentMasterAddress()));
			CanMonitorDataStart &monitorData = *(buf.SetupStatusMessage<
					CanMonitorDataStart>(CanInterface::GetCanAddress(),
					CanInterface::GetCurrentMasterAddress()));

#if TEST_PACKING
			uint16_t pattern = 0;
#endif
			/*if (accelerometer->StartCollecting(axes))
			 {

			 }*/
			if (monitor->readRangeSingleMillimeters() != 0)
			{
				data = monitor->readRangeSingleMillimeters();
				monitorData.deviceNumber = 1;
				if (monitor->timeoutOccurred())
				{
					debugPrintf("Timeout Error in monitor");

				}
			}

			monitor->stopContinuous();		//stop sensor data*/

			// Wait for another command
			running = false;
		}
	}

uint8_t readReg(uint8_t reg)
{
  uint8_t value;
  last_status = 0; 

  //bus->requestFrom(address, (uint8_t)1);
 // value = bus->read();

  return Transfer((uint8_t)reg, &value, 1, 1, VL53L0XI2CTimeout);
}

uint16_t readRangeSingleMillimeters()
{
  startTimeout();
  while ((readReg(RESULT_INTERRUPT_STATUS) & 0x07) == 0)
  {
    if (checkTimeoutExpired())
    {
      did_timeout = true;
      return 65535;
    }
  }

  // assumptions: Linearity Corrective Gain is 1000 (default);
  // fractional ranging is not enabled
  uint16_t range = readReg16Bit(RESULT_RANGE_STATUS + 10);

  writeReg(SYSTEM_INTERRUPT_CLEAR, 0x01);

  return range;
}

@nikhil how do you set 'running' to true?

[Nikhil]

@dc42

Init :--

Sensor *temp = new sensor(Platform::GetSharedI2C(), sensorxAddressLsb);  // added false for default addressss
	if (temp == nullptr)
	{
		//	debugPrintf("error creating sensor"); no use
	}
	if (temp->CheckPresent())   // returns hardcoded true As I was not having anything to check
	{
		if (!temp->init())			/
		{					// waiting time should be less while initializing
			debugPrintf("not initializing the sensor\n");     //no use
			return;
		}

			// increase timing budget 
		temp->setMeasurementTimingBudget(200000);
		monitor = temp;
		monitorTask = new Task<MonitorTaskStackWords>;
		monitorTask->Create(MonitorTaskCode, "sensor", nullptr, TaskPriority::Monitor);
	}
	else
	{
		delete temp;
	}

Diagnostocs

# if SAME5x
		Platform::GetSharedI2C().Diagnostics(reply);
# endif

In Command processing
Sending temperary Gcode M54 to make 'running = true'

#if SUPPORT_I2C_SENSORS 
		case CanMessageType::monitorData:
			requestId = buf->msg.monitorData.requestId;
			rslt = MonitorHandlerProcessing::ProcessStartRequest(replyRef);
			break;
#endif

GCodeResult MonitorHandlerProcessing::ProcessStartRequest(const StringRef &reply) noexcept
{
   reply.printf("Inside monitor");
   if (monitor == nullptr)
   {
   	reply.printf("monitor %u not present", CanInterface::GetCanAddress());
   	return GCodeResult::error;
   }

   if (running)
   {
   	reply.printf("Monitor is busy collecting data");
   	return GCodeResult::error;
   }

   running = true;
   monitorTask->Give();
   return GCodeResult::ok;
}

first I use M54 B1 to start set 'running' = true and as soon as I do M122 B1 the response is given below and it stops the CAN communication. Means there's issue in implementing I2C client? is it?

@nikhil have you defined all 3 of the I2C handlers? If not then the transmit interrupt will get stuck in the dummy handler.

[Nikhil]

@dc42 Yes I've defined all 3 handlers but the function calling inside handler is same. The interrupt function.

in config.h

#define I2C_HANDLER0		SERCOM4_0_Handler		// Handler for Interrupts all the handlers
#define I2C_HANDLER1		SERCOM4_1_Handler
#define I2C_HANDLER3		SERCOM4_2_Handler

in Platform.c

	void I2C_HANDLER0() noexcept
	{
		Platform::sharedI2C->Interrupt();
	}

	void I2C_HANDLER1() noexcept
		{
			Platform::sharedI2C->Interrupt();

		}

	void I2C_HANDLER3() noexcept
	{
		Platform::sharedI2C->Interrupt();
	}

I2C section is not printing.

[dc42]

@nikhil, it's hard for me to comment further without seeing all the code.

[Nikhil]

@dc42 Thanks for the help. May be sensors function has problem will check those. Will add remote M260 for 3HC V1.0 with changes and contribute in 3HC's firmware.

I've bypassed the resistor R22. To get PA17 is it correct one.

[Nikhil]

Hi @dc42 , I went through the code and made changes. the module is working as I can see

I2C bus errors 0, naks 69, other errors 0 
I2C device address 0x29

facing no acknowledgment. I'm using 0x29 address for the slave (sensor Adafruit VL53L0X) the same address I tried with arduino that's working fine. Can it be because of hardware. Or while sending data fast voltage is not reaching 3.3v or more?

[dc42]

@nikhil I suspect it is a firmware issue. Have you published your fork on github? Did you add external 4K7 pullup resistors to +3.3V, or does your I2C device already have those?

[Nikhil]

@dc42 It's working I changed the resistor as you said. I'll publish the fork. It was firmware issue.

@nikhil
Hi,
I'm struggle with similar problem to connect i2c sensor to expansion board Duet3HC.
Could you publish your fork on github?
Thanks in advance
