Post a link to the manufacturer's webpage for your ADXL345 board.
I want to see the documenation for the board.
Don't post a link to the Sparkfun website. I looked at all the photos of
Sparkfun boards for the ADXL345, and your board is not in any of those
photos.
Post a link to the true actual website for your ADXL345 board. |

Dear PCM programmer,
Thank you for your post , now I try to use my SRF08 sensor to begin with an easier i2c program.
As you see , I tried jeremiah's code but it didn't work.
I would like to know why does it always show be "FF" , like the code doesn't refer to the address I wrote.
Thanks,
Jampe. |

| The 'classic' reason for 'FF' is that the necessary I2C bus pullup resistors are missing |

The SRF08 webpage recommends 1.8K pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL.
http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/srf08tech.shtml
Do you have those resistors installed ?
Does the CCS prototyping board have any pull-up resistors on pins C3
and C4 ? CCS does not post the schematic or the manual for that board
on their webpage. Can you look at the schematic and tell me if it has
any pullup resistors on those pins ? |

Thank you
I didn't received any resistors from my teacher so I will buy tomorrow like PCM programmer says.. 1.8k
I'm so grateful for your help , both of you.
But there is something weird.. even when I try the 9dof stick , which has pull-up resistors build-in , It shows me "FF".
Thank you for your help , it's so useful!

Here is a diagnostic program (see below) which will look for any i2c slave
devices that are on the i2c bus, and report the slave address for each
one. For example, if I run this program on my PicDem2-Plus board, it
shows the following result in a terminal window (TeraTerm) on my PC:
| Quote: |
Start:
ACK addr: 9A
ACK addr: A0
Number of i2c chips found: 2
|
This means it found the TC74 temperature chip (slave address 0x9A)
and the 24LC256 eeprom (slave address 0xA0). Run the program on
your board and see what it finds.
| Code: |
#include <16F887.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,PUT,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT
#use delay(clock=4M)
#use i2c(Master, sda=PIN_C4, scl=PIN_C3)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
// This function writes the slave address to the i2c bus.
// If a slave chip is at that address, it should respond to
// this with an "ACK". This function returns TRUE if an
// ACK was found. Otherwise it returns FALSE.
int8 get_ack_status(int8 address)
{
int8 status;
i2c_start();
status = i2c_write(address); // Status = 0 if got an ACK
i2c_stop();
if(status == 0)
return(TRUE);
else
return(FALSE);
}
//=================================
void main()
{
int8 i;
int8 status;
int8 count = 0;
printf("\n\rStart:\n\r");
delay_ms(1000);
// Try all slave addresses from 0x10 to 0xEF.
// See if we get a response from any slaves
// that may be on the i2c bus.
for(i=0x10; i < 0xF0; i+=2)
{
status = get_ack_status(i);
if(status == TRUE)
{
printf("ACK addr: %X\n\r", i);
count++;
delay_ms(2000);
}
}
if(count == 0)
printf("\n\rNothing Found");
else
printf("\n\rNumber of i2c chips found: %u", count);
while(1);
}

Edit: Added carriage return/ linefeed to properly format the output.

By the way , I bought the pull-up resistors (1.8k) as you said , it doesn't solve my problem and jeremiah's code is showing me "0f" .
Where am I wrong?
I've done everything you told me.
Again , I'm very glad you are trying to help me..

I'm sorry about the bad formatting. I posted a slightly earlier version of
the code and it was missing some carriage returns. I have edited my
post and the correct code is now there.
With regard to the output you posted, it obvious it's getting an ACK on
every address. I was able to simulate this by grounding pin C4.
So I wonder if your connections are correct.
Do you have pull-up resistors on pins C3 and C4 ? Or did you accidently
install pull-down resistors by mistake ? Or is some other connection
incorrect, such as power and ground ?
Your pull-up resistor connections should be like this:
| Code: |
+5v
|
<
> 1.8K
<
To PIC | To i2c slave
pin C4 ------------------ SDA pin
+5v
|
<
> 1.8K
<
To PIC | To i2c slave
pin C3 ------------------ SCL pin
|

Thank you for your reply , I used your new code and this is the output :
| Quote: |
Start:
ACK addr: E4
Number of i2c chips found: 1
|
I checked the connections and they seems alright.
If the addr is E4 , so my write address is E4?
Thanks,
Jampe. |

Yes, the write address is 0xE4, and the read address is 0xE5.
So your #define statements should look like this:
| Code: |
#define I2C_WRITE_ADDR 0xE4
#define I2C_READ_ADDR 0xE5
|

I wrote as you say and it shows "data=08" all the time.
This is the code :
| Code: |
#include <16F887.h>
#device adc=16
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES HS //High speed Osc (> 4mhz for PCM/PCH) (>10mhz for PCD)
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#use delay (clock=20000000)
#use i2c(Master,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
#define I2C_WRITE_ADDR 0xE4
#define I2C_READ_ADDR 0xE5
void main()
{
int8 data;
while(TRUE)
{
i2c_start(); // initiate start condition
i2c_write(I2C_WRITE_ADDR); // device address
i2c_write(0x00); // register address
i2c_start();
i2c_write(I2C_READ_ADDR); // device address
data = i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();
printf("data=%x\n",data);
}
}

Maybe is the component broken ? |

I believe that code just reads the Firmware version or board version, so the value won't change. If it is indeed a revision 8, then that part looks good.
If you want to read the light sensor value, then change the 0x00 to 0x01. If you want to read the first echo high byte, then change 0x00 to 0x02, etc. This is all in the tables located on the page you linked to me in an earlier post.
If you want to read multiple bytes, then change the code to:
| Code: |
#include <16F887.h>
#device adc=16
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES HS //High speed Osc (> 4mhz for PCM/PCH) (>10mhz for PCD)
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#use delay (clock=20000000)
#use i2c(Master,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
#define I2C_WRITE_ADDR 0xE4
#define I2C_READ_ADDR 0xE5
void main() {
int8 data[2]; //keep track of the size of this!
while(TRUE){
i2c_start(); // initiate start condition
i2c_write(I2C_WRITE_ADDR); // device address
i2c_write(0x02); // register address
i2c_start();
i2c_write(I2C_READ_ADDR); // device address
data[0] = i2c_read();
data[1] = i2c_read(0); //NACK last byte
i2c_stop();
printf("data=%x %x\n",data[0],data[1]);
}
}
|
EDIT: This is assuming of course that the device lets you read more than one byte at a time. If it doesn't, then issue the previous code twice using different register addresses |

Try this code to get the range in inches. I don't guarantee this works
because I don't have an SRF08 to test.
| Code: |
#include <16F887.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4M)
#use i2c(Master, sda=PIN_C4, scl=PIN_C3)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
#define SRF08_WRT_ADDR 0xE4
#define SRF08_RD_ADDR 0xE5
int16 srf08_get_range(void);
//=======================
void main()
{
int16 result;
while(1)
{
result = srf08_get_range();
printf("Range in inches = %lu\n\r", result);
delay_ms(1000);
}
}
//========================
int16 srf08_get_range(void)
{
int8 lsb;
int8 msb;
int16 range;
// This 1st part sends the ranging command
// to the SRF08 to start it ranging.
i2c_start();
i2c_write(SRF08_WRT_ADDR);
i2c_write(0);
i2c_write(80); // The range will be returned in inches
i2c_stop();
// Now wait for the ranging to complete.
delay_ms(100); // Must be 65 ms minimum.
// Finally get the range from the SRF08.
i2c_start();
i2c_write(SRF08_WRT_ADDR);
i2c_write(2);
i2c_start();
i2c_write(SRF08_RD_ADDR);
msb = i2c_read();
lsb = i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();
range = make16(msb, lsb);
return(range);

Thank you for your codes..
jeremiah , your code output "data=00 00"..
PCM programmer , your code didn't print anything.
Does that make sense?
For be sure , this is the way I've connected the sensor :
