Could this be related? I'm getting Invalid expression construction on i2cRead


$i2cAddress = 0x42
$cmd = 0x41

Print("Address: $i2cAddress ");

i2cWrite(0, $i2cAddress, $cmd)

$raw = i2cRead(0, AUTO, $i2cAddress , 2)

Start
5: $i2cAddress = 0x42
6: $cmd = 0x41
8: Print("Address: $i2cAddress ");
> Address: 66 
10: i2cWrite(0, $i2cAddress, $cmd )
12: $raw = i2cRead(0, AUTO, $i2cAddress , 2)
> Error on line 12: Invalid expression construction: "

Put the i2c address variable in quotes, see if that helps. Ie "0x42" and the same for cms.

on phone at the mo but will look again when I turn on the laptop.

OK that was quicker than I thought...

the code

$i2cAddress = 0x42
$cmd = 0x41

Print("Address: $i2cAddress ")

i2cWrite(0, $i2cAddress, $cmd)

$raw = i2cRead(0, AUTO, $i2cAddress , 2)

that works fine or at least didn't throw back any errors.

What I don't understand is you don't have 12 lines of code there for an error to be on line 12. Can you post just the code in the script?

#22  

Same with the quotes on the hex.


Start
5: $i2cAddress = "0x42"
6: $cmd = "0x41"
8: Print("Address: $i2cAddress ")
> Address: 66 
10: i2cWrite(0, $i2cAddress, $cmd )
12: $raw = i2cRead(0, AUTO, $i2cAddress , 2)
> Error on line 12: Invalid expression construction: "
Done (00:00:00.8990514)

It was comments causing the line numbers... I removed the comments

Hold on, I just remembered my laptop isn't up to date. But that shows the code I posted worked on 2013.07.03

Give me a few minutes to update and I'll try it on the latest.
