Hello, recently I’ve encountered an issue with a development board called DSI5168 made by a small Taiwanese manufacturer. This board is developed using Rtl8711am. I wanted to connect a sensor using the i2c protocol and while testing some i2c functions, the Serial port showed that the sensor was not connected. Therefore, I tried using an i2c scanner to test without a sensor connected and it showed a lot of devices. I’m not sure if it’s a software issue, but I’ve heard that the wire.h file may have some problems. I have attached my i2c scanner file and a screenshot of the Serial port. Can anyone help me with this?

Sorry, I am a beginner using development boards and I am not sure if the SDK refers to the library of my Ameba development board. Nevertheless, I am attaching the URL and version.

Hi @qweqwewq ，
Welcome to AmebaIoT Forum. 
I have noticed that you are using Ameba1(RTL8195AM/RTL8711AM/RTL8710AF) Arduino Environment. Therefore, please specify the Arduino SDK version and the example name that you are running. It will be easier for us to help with reproducing your issue.
Thank you
Hi @dakamaster , thank you for getting back to me. I have an update and I am attaching the URL and version of my development board library, although I am not sure if it is what you need.
Hi @qweqwewq ,
Sorry, I am not able to test the code you provided on the i2c scanner since I don’t have the CCS811 Air Quality sensor. However, I have double-checked I2C examples Ameba Arduino: [RTL8195AM] [RTL8710AF] I2C - Display data on LCD screen on my Ameba1 (RTL8195AM), and it is working as normal. This means the I2C driver for Ameba1 is functioning well.
I have doubted that the root cause of your issue is because you using the SDK from a non-official platform. The SDK that I am using is downloaded from GitHub amb1_arduino v2.0.12. Which is different from the Arduino Preference URL you provided. Therefore, you can either follow:
- GitHub Readme to update your SDK;
or
- Read through the Ameba1 Getting Start guide on our official website.
Thank you!
Hi, @dakamaster! Thank you for your response. Now,I can use the I2C sensor, but I’m still unable to use the I2C scanner code. I’m really wondering why the I2C scanner code detects multiple devices even when I don’t have any sensor connected to the Ameba board. Could you please help me figure out why this is happening?
Note: I have already upgraded to the latest SDK.
