B4J Question Using Raspberry Pi I2C with ADS1115 (Adafruit)

[M4RC3L0]

Hello,
I'm trying to communicate a raspberry pi 3 model B with ADS1115 through i2c communication,
but it is not working.

When I run an adafruit example in python, its works
perfectly.

Using and arduino Mega i can read what python example sends to ADS1115 and I tried to send the same commands with no success.

my B4J program always read a random value.
Can someone tell me where is the problem??

Thanks in advance.



Here is my actual code:

Sub Button1_MouseClicked (EventData As MouseEvent)
    Dim bus As JavaObject = GetBus(1)
    Dim device As JavaObject = GetDevice(bus, 0x48)
  
    Write(device, 0x90)
    Write(device, 0x01)
    Write(device, 0x84)
    Write(device, 0x83)
    Write(device, 0x90)
    Write(device, 0x00)
    Write(device, 0x91)
  
    Sleep(100)  
    Dim buffer(2) As Byte
    Dim len As Int = Read2(device, buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    Label1.Text = ""
    For i = 0 To (len - 1)
        Label1.Text = Label1.Text & buffer(i)
    Next
End Sub

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

Your code displays the bytes values. What does the value should look like?

Hello Erel, indirectly you helped me through other topics. I was able to do the communication and I would like to share a sample code for those who need it:

#Region Project Attributes 
    #MainFormWidth: 1366
    #MainFormHeight: 768 
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form
    Private Button1 As Button
    Private Button2 As Button
    Private Label1 As Label
    Private Label2 As Label
   
    Dim Tini As Long
    Dim Contador As Long
   
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Principal") 'Load the layout file.
    MainForm.Show
   
End Sub

'Return true to allow the default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.
Sub Application_Error (Error As Exception, StackTrace As String) As Boolean
    Return True
End Sub
