Teensy 4.0 can´t see a I2C device in port 1

[Vahen1981]

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to solve this, but I can´t find any information who helps me untill now, so I decide to ask the community. This is the problem:

I'm trying to use an lcd 1602 through I2C port 1, when I did in port 0 everything goes perfect, but I can´t do it in port 1. I used the "scanner" example of the Wire library, and it shows "No I2C devices found". I also tried with other I2C libraries, but nothing happened... Any idea? TRhanks!
The example code:

#include <Wire.h>


void setup() {
  // uncomment these to use alternate pins
  Wire.setSCL(16);
  Wire.setSDA(17);
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);        // Leonardo: wait for serial monitor
  Serial.println(F("\nI2C Scanner"));
}


void loop() {
  byte error, address;
  int nDevices;

  Serial.println(F("Scanning..."));

  nDevices = 0;
  for (address = 1; address < 127; address++) {
    // The i2c_scanner uses the return value of
    // the Write.endTransmisstion to see if
    // a device did acknowledge to the address.
    Wire.beginTransmission(address);
    error = Wire.endTransmission();

    if (error == 0) {
      Serial.print(F("Device found at address 0x"));
      if (address < 16) {
        Serial.print("0");
      }
      Serial.print(address,HEX);
      Serial.print("  (");
      printKnownChips(address);
      Serial.println(")");

      nDevices++;
    } else if (error==4) {
      Serial.print(F("Unknown error at address 0x"));
      if (address < 16) {
        Serial.print("0");
      }
      Serial.println(address,HEX);
    }
  }
  if (nDevices == 0) {
    Serial.println(F("No I2C devices found\n"));
  } else {
    Serial.println(F("done\n"));
  }
  delay(5000);           // wait 5 seconds for next scan
}


void printKnownChips(byte address)
{
  // Is this list missing part numbers for chips you use?

If the scanner did not find it then perhaps it is wired up incorrectly or to the wrong pins

[Vahen1981]

Thanks for your answer, actually I checked the connection many times and that is ok... I think is a problem of the port 1, because there is no problem if I use the port 0

[BriComp]

Sorry the default scanner only scans Wire not Wire1 or Wire2.

Below is a scanner which will scan 3 Wire channels.
Its not mine but modified by someone on this forum. I can't remember who.

// i2c_scanner

Thank you again! I tried that code, but is still showing "No I2C devices found"
Maybe I should use the i2c_t3 library? But the documentation tells that is not compatible with teensy 4.0

[el_supremo]

I wired a DS3231 to I2C port 1 on a Teensy4.1 and ran the code from @BriComp's msg#4.
It finds the device:

I2C Scanner
Scanning(Wire)...
No I2C devices found

Scanning(Wire1)...
Device found at address 0x68  (DS1307,DS3231,MPU6050,MPU9050,MPU9250,ITG3200,ITG3701,LSM9DS0,L3G4200D)
done

Scanning(Wire2)...
No I2C devices found

Does your LCD have pullups on SDA and SCL? If not, they are required - I use 3.3K on each of SDA and SCL.

Thanks for running the code, I think everything is fine with the LCD because if I connect in port 0 (pin 19, 18) the scanner detectets inmediately, but in port 1 (pin 16, 17) nothing happened.

Post a photo of how you've connected the LCD to pins 16 and 17.
Does the LCD use 5V or 3V3?
Does your LCD have pullups on SDA and SCL?

Hello Pete!
Here are some photos

First the connections in teensy, red wire in pin 16 (SCL1) and blue wire in pin 17 (SDA1)


Then, connections in level shifter. Red in LV1, Blue in LV2, 3.3v(orange) and GND(Blue) from Teensy. Then in the other side Green to HV1, Yellow to HV2, and 5v and GND from another source, source that also power the LCD screen


Finally the LCD, green to SCL, yellow to SDA, Orange to VCC and Red to ground.


"Does your LCD have pullups on SDA and SCL?" I'm not sure about this, but I think yes... otherwise I think it would not work on I2C port 0, and in that port everything is ok.

your code in post #1 won't work on Teensy 4. There are no alternate pins (as in Teensy 3). To use pins 16 and 17 you must use Wire1, e.g. Wire1.begin() and every place you use Wire replace it with Wire1.

i'm not sure why the scanner in post #4 is not seeing your I2C device ....

I can confirm that the I2C to parallel adapter boards on the back of these LCDs do include pull-ups on the SDA and SCL lines.

Thanks for the photos.
In photo #2 there's a pair of yellow (HV) and blue (GND) wires. Where do they go? Are they the same yellow and blue wires that go to Teensy pins 18 and 19?

That cables (yellow and Blue) are the reference power for the level shifter (5v and ground)... Do you think could be the library? Maybe someone knows another library that I can use for I2C in teensy 4.0?

Again sort of hard to follow your wiring through the pictures. Sorry it is early in morning for me. Eyes are not seeing straight yet.

But I would double check the wiring. That is I know I have screwed up before, where you think you can simply move the pins down 2 (19,18) to (17, 16) for Wire1
But the SCL/SDA are reversed so you need to move 19->16 and 18->17 So I would double check that.
And I know that Wire1 works with the wire library on T4, unless something has corrupted it recently.

As for if you are using a library to communicate to the display, other than your own code, you need to make sure that library is setup to handle alternate Wire objects. Some are, many are not.

I don't see how it can be the library. I demonstrated in #6 that the code in #4 (which uses the Wire library) finds an I2C device on Wire1.

I've added a few other devices on Wire(0) and ran #4 again and it finds all of the devices on the two buses:

done

Scanning(Wire2)...
No I2C devices found

and just for fun I moved the extra devices to Wire2:

I think you have a wiring problem somewhere.
In the first photo, you have yellow and blue wires on Teensy pins 18 and 19. Where do they go?

I had the parts to duplicate your basic setup with the LCD on Port1. It worked as expected, so I suspect there must be a wiring issue somewhere as others have mentioned.
