Communication with sensor KMX63 in I2C

Question

I trying to use a new sensor the KMX63 with a Arduino Uno board, my sensor is on a evaluation board made by kionix. For the connexion il linked as follows:

| Pin Uno | Pin evaluation board |
| A5 | 5 |
| A4 | 7 |
| 3.3 | 1 |
| GND | 8 |

Here the schematic of the evaluation board:

I found a technical note from the constructor that advice to do some steps after the power up of the sensor to insure it's well functioning I wrote a code following it:

#include <Wire.h>
#include "KMX62.h"


void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Wire.begin();

  Serial.println(F("Starting"));

  byte error=7;
  byte id=0;
  byte command=0;
  delay(60);
  Wire.beginTransmission(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2);
  Wire.write(0x7F);
  Serial.println(F("Write 0x7F"));
  Wire.write(0x00);
  Serial.println(F("Write 0x00"));
  delay(100);
  error=Wire.endTransmission();
  Serial.print(F("retour 1 : "));
  Serial.println(error);
  if( error==0 ){
    Wire.beginTransmission(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2);
    Wire.write(CNTL2);
    Wire.write(0x00);
    error=Wire.endTransmission();
    if( error==0 ){
      Wire.beginTransmission(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2);
      Wire.write(CNTL1);
      Wire.write(0x80);
      error=Wire.endTransmission();
      if(error==0){
        delay(5);
        Wire.beginTransmission(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2);
        Wire.write(WHO_AM_I);
        Wire.endTransmission(false);
        Wire.requestFrom(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2,1);
        id=Wire.read();
        error=Wire.endTransmission();
        if(id==0x18||id==0x2D){
          Wire.beginTransmission(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2);
          Wire.write(COTR);
          Wire.endTransmission(false);
          Wire.requestFrom(KMX62_I2C_ADD_2,1);
          command=Wire.read();
          error=Wire.endTransmission();
          if(command==0x55){
            Serial.println(F("device ok"));
          }else{
            Serial.println(F("Issue with the sensor step e : need to be rebooted"));
          }
        }else{
          Serial.println(F("Issue with the sensor step d id=wrong : need to be rebooted"));
        }
      }else{
        if(error==2||error==3){
        Serial.println(F("Issue with the sensor step c : need to be rebooted"));
        }
      }
    }else{
      if(error==2||error==3){
        Serial.println(F("Issue with the sensor step b : need to be rebooted"));
      }
    }
  }
}

void loop(){

}

but i have an issue the steps , the program seem to freeze when i try to write into the register 0x7F.
I don't get any trace that i should have after the wire.endtransmission().
Here the trace i obtain :

09:56:35.477 -> Starting
09:56:35.511 -> Write 0x7F
09:56:35.511 -> Write 0x00

i have use the I2C scanner to check if the sensor appear, i had to modify the scanner to add a delay before Wire.beginTransmission and the Wire.endTransmission to avoid the scanner to be freeze too at the first address tried. After the modification i did saw the sensor at the address it was mean to be. here the trace for the I2C scanner :

Scanning...
I2C device found at address 0x0F  !
done

Anyone have an idea of why i can't write anything to my sensor without making my program freeze indefinitely each time ?

PS : After the advice of chrisl i rerunned all my programs on a arduino mini pro on 3.3V / 8Mhz and got the same result.

Answer 1

I finally found where the problem was, i had made a error on the reading of the schematic of the evaluation board. I thought that the pin J1-9 was already wired in intern but it was wrong. I wired it to the VCC output of my board and it work perfectly now.
