PIC16F877A I2C MCP23018
PostPosted: Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:10 am     Reply with quote
Hi
I'm trying to use the IO expander MCP23018 using I2C from a PIC16F877A (CCS C). The issue is it works perfectly if I touch the I2C CLK wire (Using bread board). Has anyone experienced the same type of issue? Surggestions on how to resolve would be appreciated. I have tried a few small caps 100pF on the line to GND but made no diffrence.
Regards
Stan

While most will say 'white breadboards' are 'bad', I've got some 30 year old ones that work fine at 64MHz.....(still looking for a good 40pin PIC 'protoboard').
I suspect pins not being tight, possibly from too big of a jumper wire ?
You might try another area of the breadboard, or other pin locations in the 'strip of 5'.
Crazy thing is I just got a bag of premade rainbow jumpers from www.banggood.com this week, cheaper than me cutting/stripping 22ga solid wires.

Also, possibly the pull-up not making a good contact.

Thanks
It was the pull up resistors not connected to VDD. Embarassed

The funny thing is that a 'human body' actually managed to give enough 'pull
up' for it to work.
I had though seen this once many years ago, which is why I raised this!. Very Happy
