I2C start signal not correct on oscilloscope

by Risha

I2C problem using PIC18f4580 as master and PIC18f4550 as slave.

Hi folks,

my clock line is correct ie scl but sda wave form is not rite when I probe it using oscilloscope. its just noise. I am using PIC18f4580 as master and PIC18f4550 as slave.

Probing the signals on the master side.
for generating start signal setting the start enable bit and waiting or polling for the transfer to complete. The irony here is it completes but not show the rite waveforms on oscilloscope.

regards,
risha

 How are you triggering the scope

Risha how are you triggering the scope?


Clock will be continuous and you probably need to trigger on the start message condition. That is more a job for a logic analyser (or make a trigger detect using a PIC ;-)


Maybe you should upload a picture to show what is going on as it's difficult to help without circuit or picture etc. even the scope type could help.
