  I confirm : It's working, thank for support !

• OPT3001 read not working

  in Electronics • 6 years, 7 months

  

  Ok, so i tried with the following code (the result is the same with your library now) but, in deed, it's seems that it doesn't work. The output is always "0" even when i put some light on the sensor. The output for manufacterID and deviceID seems ok and i tried to change the modul sensor with an other one without more success so i don't think the problem come from the hardware.

  Code :

  var REG = {
    RESULT: 0x00,
    CONFIG: 0x01,
    LOWLIMIT: 0x02,
    HIGHLIMIT: 0x03,
    MANUFACTURERID: 0x7E,
    DEVICEID: 0x7F
  };
  
  var adr = 0x44;
  
  var i2c = new I2C();
  i2c.setup({sda:B9,scl:B8});
  
  // Config (same as the library - maybe don't work)
  i2c.writeTo(adr, [REG.CONFIG, 0b1100110000010000]);
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.MANUFACTURERID);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 1));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.DEVICEID);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 1));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.RESULT);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  

  Output :

  >new Uint8Array([84])
  >new Uint8Array([48])
  >new Uint8Array(2)
  

  I think the output is "uninitialized-like" because the values are "0" and "0". We can verifie that by reading 3 bytes (in place of two) with the following code

  Code :

  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.RESULT);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 3));
  

  Output :

  >new Uint8Array([0, 0, 255])
  

  There is maybe a problem with the configuration. I'm sorry, i don't have time now to more investigations but I'll let you know if I find something in the next few days.

  If it helps, here is the result of reading of all the registers

  Code :

  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.RESULT);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.CONFIG);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.LOWLIMIT);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.HIGHLIMIT);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.MANUFACTURERID);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  
  i2c.writeTo(adr, REG.DEVICEID);
  print(i2c.readFrom(adr, 2));
  

  Output :

  >new Uint8Array(2) // means "0"
  >new Uint8Array([200, 16])
  >new Uint8Array(2) // means "0"
  >new Uint8Array([191, 255])
  >new Uint8Array([84, 73])
  >new Uint8Array([48, 1])
  

  In addition, if i look in the OPT data sheet, the result value is, in deed, on 16 bits but divided as follow :
  12 bit (LSB) : real value data
  4 bit (MSB) : exposent

  Sadly, your library doesn't take care of that and just return the 16 bits value without treatment. It would be nice to have direct the value ready to be read :)

  I looked for the librairie for the OPT3001 module (https://www.espruino.com/modules/OPT3001.js), and i saw a strange think :

  /* Copyright (c) 2018 Gordon Williams, Pur3 Ltd. See the file LICENSE for copying permission. */
  var REG = {
    RESULT: 0x00,
    CONFIG: 0x01,
    LOWLIMIT: 0x02,
    HIGHLIMIT: 0x03,
    MANUFACTUREID: 0x7E,
    DEVICEID: 0x7F
  };
  function OPT3001(options,r,w) {
    this.r=r;
    this.w=w;
    this.w(REG.CONFIG,0b1100110000010000);
    print(this.r(REG.MANUFACTUREID)); // 0x5449
    print(this.r(REG.DEVICEID));  // 0x3001
  }
  OPT3001.prototype.off = function() {
    this.w(REG.CONFIG,0xc810);
  };
  OPT3001.prototype.read = function() {
    // return this.r(REG.RESULT0); REG.RESULT0 doesn't exit right ?
    return this.r(REG.RESULT);  // better like this ?
  };
  
  exports.OPT3001 = OPT3001;
  
  exports.connectI2C = function(i2c, options) {
    var a = (options&&options.addr)||0x44; // or 0x45?
    return (new OPT3001(options, function(reg) { // read 16 bits
      i2c.writeTo(a, reg);
      var r = i2c.readFrom(a,2);
      print(r);
      return r[1] | r[0]<<8;
    }, function(reg, data) { // write
      i2c.writeTo(a, [reg, data]);
    }));
  };

  Hello,

  I'm not sure about how to read the OPT3001 sensor's data and i didn't find a lot of documentation. Here my code and the error i have on output.

  My code :

  var i2c = new I2C();
  i2c.setup({sda:B9,scl:B8});
  var opt = require("OPT3001").connectI2C(i2c);
  // default adresse (0x44) and pins are ok, connection works
  
  var data = opt.read();
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data,null,2));
  

  Output :

  >new Uint8Array([84, 73])
  21577
  new Uint8Array([48, 1])
  12289
  >Uncaught TypeError: Expecting a number or something iterable, got undefined
   at line 1 col 14
  a.writeTo(e,c);c=a.readFrom(e,2);print(c);return c[1]|c[0]<<...
               ^
  in function "r" called from line 1 col 17
  this.r(a.RESULT0)
                  ^
  in function "read" called from line 1 col 21
  var data = opt.read();
                      ^

  The module is right connected and seems ready (led on). Can someone help me ?
