Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has any input as to how I could make these 2 work together. The F232H board can ping my device but every time I set the i2c = ft232h I get error
File "C:/Users/T-1000/Desktop/Research/Python/Code for Pi/simpletest.py", line 204, in <module>
cap = MPR121(i2c=ft232h)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'i2c'. Furthermore when I get past this error I get a second error
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\Adafruit_GPIO\FT232H.py", line 641, in write8
self._verify_acks(response)
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\Adafruit_GPIO\FT232H.py", line 604, in _verify_acks
raise RuntimeError('Failed to find expected I2C ACK!')
RuntimeError: Failed to find expected I2C ACK!
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
There is no parameter i2c in the constructor. You need to pass it in via the begin() function. First, setup the ft232h for i2c:cap = MPR121(i2c=ft232h)
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft2 ... ware-usage
then pass that in:
Code: Select all
cap.begin(i2c=i2c)

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
Thank you. I have fixed that problem but now the MPR121 does not initialize. It says to check my wiring but I'm sure it's correct. I have tested with a Raspberry Pi and I know for a fact it works. I have attached a picture of my wiring. Any suggestions as to what's going on?

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
Try without the pullup resistors. If that doesn't work, post the full code you are using.

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
I'm just using the basic simpletest.py example to test if it works. I also copied the MPR121 module code to change some register values on the go.

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
Might have something to do with the MPR121 wanting repeated starts on the I2C comm.
Have you removed the pull up resistors? Also curious why you are taking the library source and modifying it. In theory, should be able to use library code as is and just pass in the return from ft232h.get_i2c_device().

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
I did remove the pull up resistors and same results. I'm doing a project testing different register values for the filter and sensitivity settings. I already had it open and just changed the code to use the simpletest.py example. It all works in a raspberry pi but when i try using the FT232H in windows it just won't initialize.

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
Using hardware I2C on the pi? i.e. without the ft232h involved.It all works in a raspberry pi but when i try using the FT232H in windows it just won't initialize.

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
The MPR121 works with the Pi I2C interface. Similar code just without the FT232H. When I try it on windows with the FT232H it gives me that initialization error

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
So it's probably the repeated start thing. You can see this being enabled in the constructor when no i2c interface is passed in:
So that happens when running it on the Pi. Not sure what the default behavior for the FT232H is, or whether this is even supported.
Unfortunately, this may be a currently unsupported combo.
Possibly relevant:

Re: MPR121 and F232H board
I have an MPR121 connected to Pi Zero. I believe my wiring is correct.
My i2cdetect shows address 5A is working.
But i2cget and i2cset give errors:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ i2cget -y 1 0x5a
Error: Read failed
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ i2cset -y 1 0x5a 0 0
Error: Write failed
How do I troubleshoot/solve this?
