Read data from MCP9808

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2020-10-11 by David1234321

Hello ,
I have bought the MCP9808 and connect it

copy the code from here:

I2C1.setup({scl:B6,sda:B7, bitrate: 60000});
var mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(I2C1, 0b000); // 0b000 means A2 = A2 = A1 = GND 
var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
console.log("Temperature: " + temperature + " C");

but I get this error:

in function called from system
Uncaught Error: Cannot read property 'getTemperature' of undefined
 at line 10 col 22
var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
                     ^
in function called from system
Uncaught Error: Cannot read property 'getTemperature' of undefined
 at line 10 col 22
var temperature = mcp.getTemperature()

what is missing?
do I need to download something?
Thanks,

another problem

I have try to upload this code

I2C1.setup({scl:D25,sda:D26, bitrate: 60000});
var mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(I2C1, 0b000); // 0b000 means A2 = A2 = A1 = GND 
var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
console.log("Temperature: " + temperature + " C");

function ReadTemp() { 
setInterval (function()
             {
  var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
  console.log("Temperature: " + temperature + " C");
  digitalWrite(LED1,1);
  }
  ,1000);}

digitalWrite(LED1,0);
ReadTemp();

I get no error while uploading ,
just see the bar running , then "SENT"
see the

then nothing - the device is not replay
nothing on the console , can't write nothing on it

I don't get any error - but it doesn't uplaod the code
after reboot from power - It run the old code (the one on the first post)
how could it be ?

Thanks ,

The i2c address does not look correct, check the datasheet.

Hi @david1234321 I see that you are running 2V07 but on what device?

Please post process.env so we are all on the same page.

> 'then nothing - the device is not replay'

Will need to understand which device is under test.

What are the contents of the var when entering the vaiable name mcp into the L-Hand console window of the WebIDE?

Maybe try wrapping in sections, several lines of code within a try/catch block to possibly learn more about the error itself.

> 'after reboot from power - It run the old code (the one on the first post)'

Was save() used?

Just did a double check, it is 0x18 plus base 0b000 so the address is ok.

Please check wire and pin names.

the address is OK
I have check in some i2c scanner

I think something is wrong with the flash memory
because I have upload the code using the esperino IDE in chrome this time , selected RAM
and it's working , it print me the data

this is the code:

I2C1.setup({scl:D25,sda:D26, bitrate: 60000});
var mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(I2C1, 0b000);
console.log("I2C Setup Finsih");


function ReadTemp() { 
  
setInterval (function()
             {
  digitalWrite(LED1,0);
  var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
  var TimeStemp = new Date().toString();
  console.log(TimeStemp + "  :  " + "Temperature: " + temperature + " C");
  setTimeout(function(){
  digitalWrite(LED1,1);
  },5000);} , 10000);}

ReadTemp();

I have used upload to RAM
and it's working

2020 10:53:45 GMT+0300 : Temperature: 21.5625 C Mon Oct 12 2020

: Temperature: 21.5625 C Mon Oct 12 2020 10:54:25 GMT+0300 :
Temperature: 21.5625 C

now I have enter save() , in order to make it work after reboor\power off - everything
got stuck:
can't write nothing in the console
get no replay
the led is off

this is what I have in the console after "save()"

>save()
=undefined
Compacting Flash...
Calculating Size...
Writing..
Compressed 40000 bytes to 6792

what to do now ? something went wrong ?

Thanks ,

I think most likely what's happened is device hasn't been recognised - it looks like during the var mcp = require("MCP9808").connect... line there might have been an error reported. If that failed then mcp wouldn't get set - but if you're uploading to RAM then the lines are executed one by one so the next lines would still get executed.

As you'd found with the MAX30102 chip, there could be some reasons why the device isn't discovered using I2C.

• Maybe there are no pullup resistors - you could use software I2C and see if it's any better:

var i = new I2C();
i.setup({scl:D25,sda:D26, bitrate: 60000});
var mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(i, 0b000); 

• But maybe sda/scl are around the wrong way, grounding it wrong, etc
• Or maybe the address isn't 0b000 is A0/1/2 aren't GND

Ok, just got your response - so ignore what I just wrote.

You've hit this: http://www.espruino.com/Saving

If you type save() on the left-hand side of the IDE after your code is uploaded, the contents of Espruino's RAM at that point will be compressed and written in to flash memory.
...
However, this means that any code that was executed at upload time will not be re-executed. For instance you may have some external hardware like an LCD display connected to Espruino - after applying power, the LCD will need to be initialised (since it can not remember its state)....

All you need to do is choose to save to Flash, not RAM in the IDE (or you can use an onInit() function as that link describes).

so what to do now?
I have change it to "Flash" but it say "Sent"
but still it stuck (can't do nothing on the console )
I have disconnect , and now I can't reconnect

I have reboot the device ,recoonet it
nothing is running now (no output on the console)
but I can "talk" with the device:

>new Date().toString()
="Thu Jan 1 1970 00:01:34 GMT+0000"

have try to run upload to FLASH
and this is what I get :

so what to do now?

** I have uplaod it now to RAM - and it's working (if it's help you to understand and help me)

Try running require("Storage").eraseAll() just to ensure that nothing gets left in storage that shouldn't be there. That might help you a little.

Since RAM obviously works for you and you seem happy with that, try:

var mcp;

function onInit() {
  clearInterval();
  I2C1.setup({scl:D25,sda:D26, bitrate: 60000});
  mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(I2C1, 0b000);
  console.log("I2C Setup Finsih");
  ReadTemp();
};

function ReadTemp() {   
  setInterval (function() {
    digitalWrite(LED1,0);
    var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
    var TimeStemp = new Date().toString();
    console.log(TimeStemp + "  :  " + "Temperature: " + temperature + " C");
    setTimeout(function(){
      digitalWrite(LED1,1);
    },5000);
  } , 10000);
}

onInit();

2 questions:

1. to uplaod the new code on FLASH , right?
2. run "require("Storage").eraseAll()"
   anyway before uplaod the code?

*** update
when I run the erase I get this

require("Storage").eraseAll()
=undefined

Thanks ,

[gfwilliams]

when I run the erase I get this

That's expected.

to uplaod the new code on FLASH , right?

You don't need to, no. Just use the code I posted above.

Read http://www.espruino.com/Saving

run "require("Storage").eraseAll()" anyway before uplaod the code?

No - that was just because you were getting some strange errors and it ensures that everything is cleared out 'just in case'.

Posted at 2020-10-12 by David1234321

I don't know what to say:

I have try to upload the code you posted(I'm write it so you will see no errors)

var mcp;
function onInit() {
  clearInterval();
  I2C1.setup({scl:D25,sda:D26, bitrate: 60000});
  mcp = require("MCP9808").connect(I2C1, 0b000);
  console.log("I2C Setup Finsih");
  ReadTemp();
}
function ReadTemp() {   
  setInterval (function() {
    digitalWrite(LED1,0);
    var temperature = mcp.getTemperature();
    var TimeStemp = new Date().toString();
    console.log(TimeStemp + "  :  " + "Temperature: " + temperature + " C");
    setTimeout(function(){
      digitalWrite(LED1,1);
    },5000);
  } , 10000);
}

onInit();

this is what I get :

both on RAM\Flash uplaod

what is wrong now?

update*
I get the same error when I try to uplaod my own code that works before

Do you have an internet connection on the computer? Modules are loaded from the internet so if your computer no longer has access to the net, it won't be able to load the module you've requested.

Posted at 2020-10-12 by David1234321

the computer is connected all the time to the internet

1. where it load the module , maybe something happand to the server?
2. if there was a problem , how could I upload the code before? what have change?

Thanks ,

wellll
it's seem that I had some problem in the computer that block me some websites......

I have try with another computer - and everything start to work

what a waste of a day!

so now its working and read the data every 10 seconds

Thank you for the help!
