Read MMA8451
Hello, I was working on my FRDM KL25 with KDS. I want to try MBED online compiler. For that I have made a small program wich read a MMA8451 accelerometer (adress 0x1D) connected on PTE0 and PTE1. For your information, it's working fine with my KDS program. The program is very simple:
include "mbed.h" define REG_WHO_AM_I 0x0D
I2C i2c2(PTE0,PTE1); Serial pc(USBTX,USBRX);
int main() { char v; char cmd; cmd = REG_WHO_AM_I; pc.baud(115200); i2c2.write(0x1D, &cmd, 1 ); i2c2.read(0x1D, &v, 1 ); pc.printf("received=%d\n",v); }
I should received 0x1A and I received 0x4D Here follow the DataAnalyzer picture:
Have you an idea?
I have tested now as suggested Wim Huiskamp:
i2c2.write( (0x1D << 1), &cmd, 1 );
i2c2.read( (0x1D << 1), &v, 1 );
It's a little bit better but not OK; the dataAnalyzer ggives that:
Now follow a dataAnalyzer of a program made with KDS and it's working!
The code is:
error=GI2C2_ReadByteAddress8(0x1D,CTRL_REG1,&valeur);
YYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
That's working with:
i2c2.write( (0x1D << 1), &cmd, 1, true);
Thanks a lot!

mbed libs use the 8bit address format for I2C slave addresses. You provide 0x1D which is in the 7bit format. The result is that the lib overwrites the addressbit 0 and then sends the result, which is decoded by your logic analyser as 0x0E (instead of 0x1D or actually 0x1C). You also get a NotAck since the slave does not respond to the incorrect address.
Try shifting the address to the left by one bit:
i2c2.write( (0x1D << 1), &cmd, 1 ); i2c2.read( (0x1D << 1), &v, 1 );
The slaveaddress is now correct and you get an ACK from the slave so thats working. The difference with the trace from the KDS example is that it uses a repeated start for the Read operation. Maybe the MMA8451 needs that. Try
i2c2.write( (0x1D << 1), &cmd, 1, true); i2c2.read( (0x1D << 1), &v, 1 );
