Has anyone tried AI with PICBASIC

[Ioannis]

On more common languages like C or Java thing are much better.

Also on Arduino (which is C basically) gives a working piece of code most of the times.

All depends on the prompt of course.

Yes, correct.
I have seen that with my own eyes - student asked to write a frequency meter code for arduino, she only specified that 4 digit, 7 segment display module was connected to the specified pins, and also specified a pin used as input - generated code worked directly and correctly, no modifications were needed. Both frequency measurement code, display multiplexing code - all were generated by AI.

Well, I tried that code and even after fixing syntax, it does not work.

By the way, I tried to do my own code for that chip, but that also does not work - returns 64 for MSB and LSB bytes. The hardware wiring is correct, because if I remove VDD to chip, these bytes are returned as 0.

Here's my code for it, according to chip datasheet:

1. Write to Config register:
– First byte: 0b10010000 (first 7-bit I2C address followed by a low R/W bit)
– Second byte: 0b00000001 (points to Config register)
– Third byte: 0b10000100 (MSB of the Config register to be written)
– Fourth byte: 0b10000011 (LSB of the Config register to be written)
2. Write to Address Pointer register:
– First byte: 0b10010000 (first 7-bit I2C address followed by a low R/W bit)
– Second byte: 0b00000000 (points to Conversion register)
3. Read Conversion register:
– First byte: 0b10010001 (first 7-bit I2C address followed by a high R/W bit)
– Second byte: the ADS111x response with the MSB of the Conversion register
– Third byte: the ADS111x response with the LSB of the Conversion register

[Ioannis]

What is the purpose of this line?

i2cwrite i2dta, i2clk, $48,$0 'convert

I understand this as "start conversion(measurement)"

As said in 2. of quote from the datasheet.

[richard]

are we still talking about a ds3231 ?

if so then if chat gpt leads you to this there something terribly wrong

DO
i2cwrite i2dta, i2clk, $48,$01,[132,131] 'write config
pause 10
i2cwrite i2dta, i2clk, $48,$0 'convert
pause 10
i2cread i2dta, i2clk, $48,[data1,data2] 'read data
serout2 portc.5,90, ["adc=",dec data1, dec data2,13,10]
LOOP

this is incorrect on so many levels starting with device address, conversion time and virtually every thing from there on

[CuriousOne]

No, this is ADS1115, as mentioned in comments in above post.
