Hey Liam…as you know I’ve done heaps with the VL53L1X… and today, I tried using it with different SDA/SCL pins. The driver crashes in init (actually doing the initial reset)
I’ve tried multiple Picos… with a few different SDA/SCL combos. After changing pin numbers and rewiring, an I2C scan shows the device just fine (so… it is alive on the new pins) but NEVER works unless I default to pins 8,9. NOTHING else connected on the bus… bare-bones setup. Pico and VL53L1X - that’s it.
Note: Not using the Qwiic connector (sort of obviously) but to be sure… I am connecting to the solder pins on the edge of the board. My cable works just fine if I use GPIO 8,9 … on say 4,5 … I2Cscan reports the device address… but the VL53L1X driver craps out immediately.
Any ideas?
Cheers, T.
EDIT 2: Now working… the culprit may have been dodgy Dupont connections. I changed wires to a different set on SDA/SCL…not as sloppy a fit as the first set - and it works just fine. Grrrr….
