(SOLVED) I2C, change pins

Hi all,

i want to move the I2C pins from PORTB 10/11 to PORTB 8/9. I have no CAN device, so this PINS are free to use.

i set:

#define HW_HAS_NO_CAN

#define HW_I2C_DEV              I2CD1

#define HW_I2C_GPIO_AF          GPIO_AF_I2C1

#define HW_I2C_SCL_PORT         GPIOB

#define HW_I2C_SCL_PIN          8

#define HW_I2C_SDA_PORT         GPIOB

#define HW_I2C_SDA_PIN          9

and enable I2C1 in mcuconf.h

but now signal on this pins :( is it correct, that the defines for the PINs and PORTs are nowhere used in the code ? grep found no match

do i have to change something more ?

Hi Georg,

Does ur hardware have the i2c start stop functions in? There the pin config is done.

strange, there is some communication right after reset.

Is there something that blocks the process or overwrites the pin function

mmh, the thread goes to sleep state. it seems that the thread is waiting for a mutex release, but why?

Is the I2CD1 Device use per Default for some VESC internals ?

Nunchuk app is dissabled

On default Hardware I2C shares the pins with UART and when using the UART-APP hw_i2c_stop is called....

Hello
we are trying to interface to a peripheral via I2C . after a while of periodic i2c transmissions the i2c_running variable seems to be unset. might the uart-app be interfering? where is the uart app initiated.
thanks h
