    Default Using Amicus18 and I2C

    I am trying to get my Amicus18 board to talk to a Sparkfun MPR121 Capacitive Touch Keypad over I2C. Could someone verify the maximum usable OSC value.

    Right now I have it set to 64 but it looks like the PBP manual says the max usable is 20 with I2C.

    Can I run it at 64 and use DEFINE I2C_SLOW 1?

    Thanks John

    Default Re: Using Amicus18 and I2C

    Under Write_MPR121 - the D2 values never match the Register_val it writes just before. That is why I question if its working. I wanted to make sure this is working before moving forward.


    This is the main code I am using,

    ' MPR121 Note: After completing power on reset (POR) or soft reset by command,

    '  (Default 0x10) and 0x5D (Default 0x24).
    '
    ' MPR121 reset default mode is Stop Mode without any capacitance measurement.
    '  Set MPR121 into Run Mode by configuring ECR register (0x5E) so that least
    '  one of the 13 measurement channels is enabled. Set MPR121 into Stop Mode
    '  by writing 2bXX000000 to ECR register at any time. For all the registers,
    '  the current value can be read at any time.
    '
    ' Note: Registers write operation can only be done after MPR121 is set into
    '  Stop Mode, except the ECR and GPIO/LED related registers, which means 
    '  changing the value of these registers while MPR121 is in Run Mode will not 
    '  be effective.

    '  Registers 0x1D to 0x2A are the internal output baseline registers, these
    '  registers are also writeable to user, this is useful if customer setting

    Default Re: Using Amicus18 and I2C

    Typically, datasheets will specify the device's "Slave Address" as a 7-bit number.
    In the case of the MPR121, the datasheet says 5A (with the ADDR pin tied to ground).

    In order to use that address in the control byte of the I2C commands, you have to shift it left 1-bit to make room for the Read/Write bit.

    So the control byte should be ... $B4.

    Thanks Darrel, I changed $5A to $B4 and it works great.
