Need Help with I2C Master Code on ESP32

Subject:

Hi everyone,

I'm new to ESP32 and esp idf programming and trying to get an I2C master working using the code example from the [ESP-IDF documentation](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... s/i2c.html). Despite following the example, my code doesn't seem to work.

Here's the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include "esp_log.h"
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "driver/i2c_master.h"
#include "driver/i2c.h"

static const char *TAG = "MONIDAT";

void app_main(void)
{
    i2c_master_bus_config_t i2c_mst_config = {
        .clk_source = I2C_CLK_SRC_DEFAULT,
        .i2c_port = -1,
        .scl_io_num = 22,
        .sda_io_num = 21,
        .glitch_ignore_cnt = 7,
    };
    i2c_master_bus_handle_t bus_handle;

    i2c_device_config_t dev_cfg = {
        .dev_addr_length = I2C_ADDR_BIT_LEN_7,
        .device_address = 0x54,
        .scl_speed_hz = 400000,
    };
    i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle;

    uint8_t buffer[6] = {};

    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_new_master_bus(&i2c_mst_config, &bus_handle));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_master_probe(bus_handle, 0x54, -1)); 
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_del_master_bus(bus_handle));

    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_new_master_bus(&i2c_mst_config, &bus_handle));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_master_bus_add_device(bus_handle, &dev_cfg, &dev_handle));

    i2c_master_receive(dev_handle, buffer, sizeof(buffer), -1);
    for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(buffer); i++) {
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "bytes %d is %d/n", i, buffer[i]);
    }
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_del_master_bus(bus_handle));
}

I have tons of error message but i don't understand them

the building step is going fine but once i flash the esp32 it goes completely crazy

Am I missing something? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I know what documentation says, but did you try to set this value to 0:

Code: Select all

    i2c_master_bus_config_t i2c_mst_config = {
        .clk_source = I2C_CLK_SRC_DEFAULT,
        .i2c_port = -1, <----------- SET it to 0

Yup I have tested and the output is still the same,

I don't know what I am missing

Can you try removing the i2c_del_master and i2c_new_master_bus between your probe and i2c_master_receive?

Hello it is still the same output
that is really confusing

Strange. What ESP32 is this on and what version of ESP-IDF are you running? Also, what sensor are you talking to?

I'm working with an ESP32 WROOM-32 module from Az-Delivery, which is a bit on the older side, the module is 3 years old without updating the firmware. The IDF version I'm using is 5.2, and the sensor in question is a TSL2591.

after several tests , I've encountered a peculiar issue. The setup works perfectly when I power on the ESP32 and monitor the output via PuTTY. However, the system crashes every time I hit the reset button. It seems like the system only works once, and any attempt to reset results in a crash.

Here's the latest code snippet I’ve been using (please note, it did work once):

Code: Select all

#include "esp_log.h"
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "driver/i2c_master.h"
#include "esp_timer.h"

static const char *TAG = "MONIDAT";

// TSL2591 I2C address
#define TSL2591_ADDR         0x29
#define TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT  0xA0
#define TSL2591_REGISTER_ENABLE  0x00
#define TSL2591_REGISTER_CONTROL 0x01
#define TSL2591_REGISTER_CHAN0_LOW 0x14

// TSL2591 configurations
#define TSL2591_ENABLE_POWERON   0x01
#define TSL2591_ENABLE_AEN       0x02
#define TSL2591_GAIN_MED         0x10

esp_err_t tsl2591_write_register(uint8_t reg, uint8_t value,i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle)
{
    uint8_t buffer[2] = { TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | reg, value };
    return i2c_master_transmit(dev_handle,buffer,sizeof(buffer),-1);
}

esp_err_t tsl2591_read_register(uint8_t reg, uint8_t *data, size_t len,i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle)
{
    reg = TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | reg;
    
    return i2c_master_transmit_receive(dev_handle,&reg,1,data,len,-1);

}

void tsl2591_init(i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle)
{
    // Power on and enable the TSL2591
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(tsl2591_write_register(TSL2591_REGISTER_ENABLE, TSL2591_ENABLE_POWERON | TSL2591_ENABLE_AEN,dev_handle));
    // Set medium gain
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(tsl2591_write_register(TSL2591_REGISTER_CONTROL, TSL2591_GAIN_MED,dev_handle));
}

void measure_task(i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle)
{
    uint8_t data[2];
    int num_measurements = 100000;
    int64_t start_time = esp_timer_get_time();

    for (int i = 0; i < num_measurements; i++)
    {
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(tsl2591_read_register(TSL2591_REGISTER_CHAN0_LOW, data, 2,dev_handle));
        uint16_t luminosity = (data[1] << 8) | data[0];
        // Optionally log every 1000th measurement to avoid overwhelming the log
        if (i % 100 == 0) {
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Measurement %d: Luminosity: %d", i, luminosity);
        }
    }

    int64_t end_time = esp_timer_get_time();
    float elapsed_time_sec = (end_time - start_time) / 1000000.0;
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Completed %d measurements in %.2f seconds good job", num_measurements, elapsed_time_sec);

}

void app_main(void)
{
    i2c_master_bus_config_t i2c_mst_config = {
        .clk_source = I2C_CLK_SRC_DEFAULT,
        .i2c_port = -1,
        .scl_io_num = 22,
        .sda_io_num = 21,
        .glitch_ignore_cnt = 7,
        
    };
    i2c_master_bus_handle_t bus_handle;

    i2c_device_config_t dev_cfg = {
    .dev_addr_length = I2C_ADDR_BIT_LEN_7,
    .device_address = 0x29,
    .scl_speed_hz = 400000,
    };
    i2c_master_dev_handle_t dev_handle;

        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_new_master_bus(&i2c_mst_config, &bus_handle));
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_master_bus_add_device(bus_handle, &dev_cfg, &dev_handle));
        ESP_LOGI(TAG,"the bus has been activated");

        tsl2591_init(dev_handle);
        measure_task(dev_handle);
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(i2c_del_master_bus(bus_handle));
}

To isolate the problem, I've also purchased an ESP32-S3 to test whether the issue might be with the hardware itself.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insights on what might be causing this behavior?

Try calling i2c_master_bus_reset() after creating the new bus handle but before starting the first transaction on the bus. This implicitly "clears" the bus which may be in an inconsistent state after a reset of only the MCU but not the sensor.

Nope it does not work.
I’ve noticed something interesting that might shed more light on the issue. When I press the reset button while the program is running, it causes an error that requires me to power cycle the module of to recover. However, if I let the program run to completion and then press the reset button, the program restarts normally.

It seems that I need to allow the program to finish before resetting.

Edit : I tested on a ESP32-S3 N16R8 and now it works, I can press reset without having the program to go completely crazy

but during the execution of the program I have this "error" :

but then the program continue and execute well
one issue fixed, another one is comming ! :D

Edit : maybe du to "no delay" default the tick period is 10ms, so any delay of less than 10ms results in a 0 delay right ? https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=32384

That's because of the 'inconsistency' emerging between the bus participants when the master is reset mid-transaction, which i2c_master_bus_reset() attempts to rectify. At a glance, the software-based implementation for the older ESPs may be a bit too 'optimistic' in assuming that every slave will correctly handle a STOP condition at any bit position, not only after each full byte.
It seems that I need to allow the program to finish before resetting.
Yes, or more specifically, don't reset the MCU while an I2Ç transaction is ongoing. Or, check if you can make the MCU reset/power cycle the I2C slaves when it boots.
