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?

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.
