How do I change slave address of mlx90614 with bcm2835 library? I've tried following code...
int main()
{
// Buffer, where I store data which I'll send
unsigned char buf[6];
// bcm2835 i2c module intialisation code
bcm2835_init();
bcm2835_i2c_begin();
bcm2835_i2c_set_baudrate(25000);
bcm2835_i2c_setSlaveAddress(0x00);
// For debug purposes, I read what reason codes operations give.
bcm2835I2CReasonCodes why;
bcm2835_i2c_begin();
// function which reads and prints what value eeprom address 0x0e has.
// See below the main.
printf("Initial check\n");
check(); // this time it prints a factory default value 0x5a.
// To access eeprom, the command must start with 0x2X, where x determines the
// address, resulting 0x2e.
buf[0] = 0x2e;
// According to datasheet, I first have to clear the address before
// real write operation.
buf[1] = 0x00;
buf[2] = 0x00;
why = bcm2835_i2c_write(buf,3);
reason(why); // resolves and prints the reason code. This time it prints OK
// according to datasheet, eeprom needs 5ms to make a write operation,
// but I give it 2 seconds.
sleep(2);
// Then I check did the value in eeprom 0x0e change. IT DOESN'T!
printf("Check after clear\n");
check();
// Then I try to write a new address to the eeprom but since the clearing
// the register didn't work, this is very unlikely to work either.
buf[0] = 0x2e;
buf[1] = 0x4b;
buf[2] = 0x00;
why = bcm2835_i2c_write(buf,3);
reason(why);
sleep(2);
// The datasheet says that I have to reset the power supply and after that
// the device should respond to the new slave address.
// I do that by pluging off the jumper wires and reconnecting them
// after the program has finnished.
bcm2835_i2c_end();
return 0;
}
// The function I use to determine what the reason code was.
void reason(bcm2835I2CReasonCodes why)
{
printf("Reason is: ");
if(why == BCM2835_I2C_REASON_OK)
{
printf("OK");
}else if(why == BCM2835_I2C_REASON_ERROR_NACK){
printf("NACK");
}else if(why == BCM2835_I2C_REASON_ERROR_CLKT){
printf("Clock stretch");
}else if(why == BCM2835_I2C_REASON_ERROR_DATA ){
printf("Data error");
}else{
printf("Dunno lol");
}
printf("\n");
return;
}
// Here I read eeprom 0x2e.
void check()
{
unsigned char buf[6];
unsigned char reg = 0x2e;
bcm2835I2CReasonCodes why;
// better safe than sorry with the buffer :)
buf[0] = 0;
buf[1] = 0;
buf[2] = 0;
why = bcm2835_i2c_write (®, 1);
reason(why);
why = bcm2835_i2c_read_register_rs(®,&buf[0],3);
reason(why);
printf("Buffer values are: %x ; %x ; %x \n", buf[0], buf[1], buf[2]);
}
The output of the program is following:
Initial check
Reason is: OK
Reason is: OK
Buffer values are: 5a ; be ; dc
Reason is: OK
Check after clear
Reason is: OK
Reason is: OK
Buffer values are: 5a ; be ; dc
Reason is: OK
If I run i2cdetect -y 1 after that, the device doesn't appear in the table, but it responds to programs calling it from either 0x00 or 0x5a. After I've used such a program, the i2cdetect detects the device normally from address 0x5a.
So I guess the real question is, why I can't clear and rewrite the eeprom 0x0e?
The description of Mlx90614 SMBus communication can be found below. The most relevat page is IMO the page 19 which actually gives the pseudocode example of what I'm trying to do. http://www.melexis.com/Assets/SMBus-communication-with-MLX90614-5207.aspx
Here's the datasheet for mlx90614 http://www.melexis.com/Assets/IR-sensor-thermometer-MLX90614-Datasheet-5152.aspx
