MPL3115A2 not working with PIC16F877A |

Hi Guys!
I have a new MPL3115A2 Temperature/Pressure/Altitude breakout board from Sparkfun as part of my school project. The sensor is a two wire serial (I2C) device. Am interested in reading only the Pressure.
I've connected the SDA and SCL on the breakout board to the SDA and SCL pins of the PIC16F877A respectively. The sensor is powered with +3.3vcc and the PIC is +5vcc both of them has common Gnd.
I have run the diagnostic test @ http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49713 and receive 0xC0 as the slave address.
The issue is when all of them are powered on, I'll get MSB:FF CSB: FF LSB: FF which shouldn't be so. The combination of the MSB, CSB, LSB should give me the pressure reading.
Also, from the datasheet, when reading the "WHO_AM_I" register (0x0C), the device should response with 0xC4, but what am getting is still 0xFF.
Here is the code, am using CCS C v4.068

#include <16F877A.h>
#FUSES NOWDT

Is anything wrong with the code or is there anything am missing out? Pls I need your help.
Thanks |

comment: you need correct hardware before debugging software..
comment: It is never a good idea to mix 5V PICs with 3V peripherals. Best solution is to use 3V PICS with 3V peripherals. Next is to use a 5V to 3V logic level translation chips in between. Next would be to use I/O pins that WILL allow the PIC to see proper logic levels.Check the datasheet to see which pins would see a '1' when input is 3.3volts( homework for you).
comment: the 16F877 is 'obsolete' or at least 'at end of production life',if possible, choose a current PIC of the LF series( good for 3V) that is pin compatible.Newer PICs will have more features at a lower price.
comment: check the comments at the sparkfun website about the device,seems there's a lot of talk about it...maybe Google for PIC related info.
comment:in the I2C setup options you have SMBUS enabled, is this correct? what speed is the I2C bus(device max is 400KHz)?

He's using the SMBUS option for #use i2c. With that parameter, a 5v
PIC will work with a 3.3v i2c slave (with 3.3v pull-ups).
One of the problems is in the IIC_Read() function. It should be replaced by this:
Code: |
BYTE IIC_Read(BYTE regAddr)
{
BYTE re;
i2c_start();
i2c_write(MPL3115A2_ADDRESS);
i2c_write(regAddr);
i2c_start();
i2c_write(MPL3115A2_ADDRESS +1);
re=i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();
return re;
} |

Thanks PCM Programmer for your help!
I did exactly as your code and its working now. |
