[Solved]Fire, PaHUB, & ADC (ADS1100)

mick

Hi all, so just started playing with M5 - Nice!

Although early days, i've just ploughed into a possible noob problem! I'm needing to connect ADC (unit) via PaHub (unit) to M5 Fire (port A). All good except i'm getting way out comparison readings.. As follows

--> Using the ADC via PaHub to Fire (portA ) vs running ADC directly via Fire (portA) no PaHub.

So using ADC via PaHub reading ~ 2610 (Int), using ADC to Port A directly ~ 3120 (int), 1.2 VDC battery connected to ADC.

I'm aware that I2c pullUp resisters exist on HUB & ADC, in parallel (total ~ > 3 kOhm), which should be ok.

Any thoughts would be appreciated..

Cheers

heybin

sorry for reply too later, i will go to test

Solved...

Remove 4.7K Ohm pull up's from i2c lines!, un-soldered from ADC (Mux resistors were too small/difficult to get to) would have liked to remove resistors from Mux as possible issue will also effect other connected units.

Nice find.
Just reached my knowledge of i2c and yeh found that the pullups have bee put on the hubs i2c lines as well as the line to the M5Stack port a.
nice but of bug fixing.
Just don't forget to put them back if you want to connect the ADC directly to the M5stack in future.
