Every once in a while I get

InternalError: Timeout on I2C Write BUSY

on this code:

    var wifi = require("EspruinoWiFi");
    wifi.connect(wifiName, options, function(err) {
        if (err) reject(err); // HERE
        resolve();
    });

Do I simply need to wait then try again?

I changed it to this, at least for now:

    const wifi = require("EspruinoWiFi");
    function getIP() {
        wifi.getIP(function(err, info) {
            if (err) setTimeout(getIP, 1000)
            console.log('IP:', info.ip)
        });
    }
    getIP();

Could it be better?

It's not just that code that's running if you're getting that error.

As it says, it's to do with I2C. It happens when you're trying to access an I2C device that isn't connected. I guess somehow you have still got the other code running.

Are you sure that is all you're uploading?

If the MPU6050 is still connected then you'll need to check your I2C wiring as well - that could explain a lot.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
