Adafruit PCF8523 - interferring with Wire.onReceive event?

Post by RobMohr »

I am setting up an Adafruit Metro M0 Express as an I2C slave which receives a float (Garmin LIDAR-Lite distance) from another Arduino board (Arduino Uno Genuino). The Metro acts as a web server over WiFi (Adafruit WINC1500 WiFi shield) to display the data arriving over I2C. An Adafruit RTC PCF8523 will be used to generate timestamps. The RTC will be adjusted periodically via NTP over UDP via WiFi. Data received via the I2C master will be stored on the on-board SD card on the WiFi shield.

I have tested most of the pieces seperately, however I have run into a problem with the Wire.onReceive event, established to identify when data is received from the I2C master, ceasing to function properly when I enable the RTC code.

The code (with RTC related code commented out) is as follows:

Code: Select all

//
// WiFi Web server display of LIDAR-Lite data (float) recieved via I2C master
// Web-based control of LED via PIN 9
// PCF8523 RTC with adjustment via UDP over WiFi - Currently disabled due to interrupt conflict
// SD logging to WiFi shield w/timestamp - Currently not implemented
// I2C Slave: Adafruit Metro M0 Express, Adafruit WINC1500 WiFi shield, RTC PFC8523
// I2C master: Arduino Uno, LCD Keypad shield, Lidar-Lite

As soon as I un-comment the RTC code, I no longer get any values received over I2C from the master. It acts like the event callback is disabled.

I checked the RTC library and verified that the I2C address used for the RTC is 68, which does not conflict with any of the other devices (Metro (2), Arduino (1), LIDAR-Lite (62)) communicating on the I2C bus.

Any assistance with identifying why the event callbacks are broken when using the RTC would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I could include code running on the I2C master, however it is also using the I2C_Anything.h code written by Nick Gammon to put the float on the I2C bus.

Code: Select all

// Written by Nick Gammon
// May 2012

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Wire.h>

template <typename T> int I2C_writeAnything (const T& value)
 {
   const byte * p = (const byte*) &value;
   unsigned int i;
   for (i = 0; i < sizeof value; i++)
         Wire.write(*p++);
   return i;
 }  // end of I2C_writeAnything

template <typename T> int I2C_readAnything(T& value)
 {
   byte * p = (byte*) &value;
   unsigned int i;
   for (i = 0; i < sizeof value; i++)
         *p++ = Wire.read();
   return i;
 }  // end of I2C_readAnything
