INA219 connection issue

Post by jax200 »

Hello
I have a circuit that uses an esp32, some external sensors (ie, temp, moisture) and an RTC (I2C) connected via an I2C splitter.
All is good, but when I add an INA219 to the splitter, the RTC no longer functions correctly.
If I load an I2C tool code, the RTC address is listed (0x68), but when I connect the INA219 data (SDA) pin, the tool then does not list the expected address (0x40) and in fact shows 'no I2C devices'.
I've rechecked wiring so now not sure what could be the issue.

Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.

I found when using an esp32 it required adding pullup resistors. All good now.
