ESP32S3 can't connect to ADXL345 Accelerometer on any i2c device

[NerdMov]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use the accelerometer ADXL345 on my ESP32S3 with no results! It's always give to me ("Ooops, no ADXL345 detected ... Check your wiring!") when I initialized it on function !accel.begin() and obviously doesn't work. I have no idea how can it be possibile. I'm missing something for sure because they both works with other modules!

Here all the steps I tried:

1) same error on a PCB and on a breadboard with diffrent ESP32S3 and ADXL345

2) Wiring ok. I tested with a multimeter
3) The ESP32S3 works perfectly I tried with some led and other module on same pin so the wiring it's ok.
4) The ADXL345 works too, I tried with the example code on a Arduino Nano
5) Change with different begin value: Serial.begin(115200) and Serial.begin(9600); No works
6) I tried with my code and with the example code. Nothing works.
7) I tried with pin define. no work

Code: Select all

#define I2C_SDA_PIN 5
#define I2C_SCL_PIN 6

Code: Select all

Wire.begin(I2C_SDA_PIN, I2C_SCL_PIN);

  if (!accel.begin()) {
    Serial.println("No ADXL345 detected");
    //while (1);
  }
  Serial.println("ADXL345 initialized");

Here the example code:

Code: Select all

#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_ADXL345_U.h>

I also try the i2c scanner and I can't find any device. I tried with different board.
