as7421 problem

fjj19990227
fjj19990227 11 months ago

I am trying to control the as7421 to read spectral data using python's smbus, but there is a problem that I can't change the value of LTF_EN on the enable bit 0x60, so I can't take spectral measurements, has anyone solved a similar problem, I'd appreciate it!

    The problem may exist somewhere else other than the LTF_EN itself. I think it is better to verify the I2C address with an I2C scanner code.

    PON must be enabled before LTF_EN can be enabled. Additionally there is a library here for Python that you can use which might be helpful: github.com/.../as7421

    as your suggestion,i check the i2c address.besides 0x64(correct address),0x50-0x5F also exist at the same time. Weird.
