What are your pull up resistor values?.


They are on the sensor board and is 4K7. I have also other boards with 10K.

Both works on the PIC18 version.

I have noticed so far 1 difference with the init setup that are sent to the bme280 chip at start and there are 2 regs that differ.

0xF4 and 0xF5 ctrlMeas.val and crtl_config.val

On PIC18 F4 is 24 and F5 is 40
On PIC24 F4 is 3C and F5 is 70

Strange that they can differ on same BME board.

Not sure yet if that values are OK, must check datasheet.
I will investigate further tomorrow.

While I don't use those PICs or the sensor I have to ask why the difference in the 'init setup' ? That should not be PIC dependent, the driver for the sensor should be the same and it's the same sensor.....
Say we (PIC18 and PIC24) are at the front door, one doorbell push button (driver) and the actual doorbell. It doesn't matter WHO presses the button, the doorbell rings.

One thing occurs to me though....are PIC24 default defines for variable types different than PIC18s ? 'int' in a PIC18 is 8 bit, for a PIC24 it might be 16 ? or ...'int' in PIC18 is UNsigned while PIC24 it's signed ??

Those resistors are too large.

4K7, is an 'OK' resistor for a 5V I2C bus, going just to a local device. So
ideal for example to connect to a clock chip or something similar, on a 5v
PIC. The resistor sizes have to drop when the supply voltage drops. So on a
3.3v PIC, the equivalent to 4K7, is 3K1R. However for reliable operation with
a 'fast' bus, and especially if the bus gets longer, the resistor value needs to
drop further.
!0K is not rated to work with a fast mode bus at all on 3.3v.
Now the reason I jumped onto this, is the PIC24, has a very slightly higher
Vih than the PIC18. As such it'll show problems with Rp not being small
enough quicker than the PIC18.....
Rp(min), for a 3.3v bus running standard I2C drives, is just 900R.

Halve your resistor values.

I have now changed Pullup to 1K8 but no change.
Howe ever I have done some debug output compare and find a strange value maybe temtronic is on something right ??

The compensation value for pressure , and Pressure is the value i have had most problem with is on negeative value on PIC24 and positive on PIC18


DEBUG OUTPUT

PIC24
_bme280_compensate_P_int32(-524288) 10190

PIC18
_bme280_compensate_P_int32(305648) 101931


You can se that compensate value is negative and the last number is 1 digit short on PIC24

this debug output is from the same BME280 chip so it should be nearly equal
i think.

I cannot post the driver here but, it is mention in the driver that this
_bme280_compensate_P_int32 is written by BOSH from their datasheet.

Can someone who has this latest driver take a look into this function
I have try to change some variables to unsigned but all I got gives an
compile error. lots of Expecting declaration and parentheses error.

Update !

I noticed an even more error on the compensation calculation
the compensation is recalculate for every reading that's why I can get error data when some variables change. here I rise the humidity and temp
all data crash it is the comp_t that holds variables that goes wild

_comp_t -61547 0 -123763 -6188150
_bme280_compensate_T_int32(-523636) 9246 473412 473789 -377
_bme280_compensate_P_int32(-524288) 12347

right before I rised humidity and temp comp_t was all positive values

_comp_t 3790 0 3506 175300
_bme280_compensate_T_int32(521767) 1953 99974 99964 10
_bme280_compensate_P_int32(-524288) 10201
_bme280_compensate_H_int32(30087) 46547

There is a critical thing.

You need to make a point of using unsigned on the PIC24.

On PIC12/16/18, the default 'int', is a unsigned int8. In the PIC24/33, it is a
signed int16. Now this affects all integer types. So an 'int32' on the PIC24,
is a signed int32. If you look at my driver for the SSD1306 in the code library,
you will see that this was modified for the PIC24. The critical thing that
had to change was the int8's had to be changed to be unsigned int8's.

Since switching to the PIC24/33's I've made it a 'point' to use the stdint
include library, and use uint8_t, etc., for types. It is worth doing this on all
code, since it increases enormously the portability to other compilers.

Ok

There are only 32 bits signed and unsigned in the function we talk about

other places with int8 in the driver is already set to unsigned int8 or signed
all variables seem to have unsigned or signed stated already by CCS

Do you think that the driver is the problem for PIC24

No, the driver is recent enough that it was almost certainly written to support
the 16bt PIC's as well. There is nothing in it that looks as if it'd cause issues
on these chips.
Post what you are actually calling to get the 'transactions' you have posted.

it´s nearly the same as in the driver example
shrinked for test purpose

I2C is setup in the driver with pin_select and stream

   fputc(c, DEBUG);
}



#include "bme280.c"

 {
   ok = bme280_init();
   bme280_set_mode(BM280_MODE_NORMAL);
   delay_ms(1000);
    if(!ok)
            {
               debug << "error init" << endl;
            }
            else
               {
               
                  debug << "Ok init" << endl;
               }
  }


void readinbme280()
{
        output_toggle(PIN_G9);         
        ok = bme280_get_humidity(&temp, &press, &hum);
                         
            if(!ok)
            {

            else

           readinbme280();

           delay_ms(1000);
           debug << endl;
       }
while(1);
}



I will test the driver soon on a dsPIC30F4011

Here is a test program for the signed/unsigned problem. The code below
has a routine from bme280.c that has 'char' in it. If I compile and run
the test program for PCH, I get this result:
Quote:
scr32 = 528762


Test program for PCH:
Code:
#include <18F46K22.h>
#fuses NOWDT 
#use delay(internal=4M)
#use rs232(UART1, baud=9600, ERRORS)


static unsigned int32 _bme280_get20bits(char *p)
{
   unsigned int32 ret = 0;
   char c; 
   
   ret += *p++;
   ret *= 256;
   
   ret += *p++;
   ret *= 16;
   
   c = *p;
   c >>= 4;
   c &= 0xF;
   ret += c;
   
   return(ret);
}

unsigned int8 read[8] = {0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0x17, 0xA0, 0x77, 0x68};

//=================================
void main()
{
unsigned int32 scr32;

scr32 = _bme280_get20bits(&read[3]); 

printf("scr32 = %lu \r", scr32);

while(TRUE);
}



I don't have PCD but I can emulate its 'char' data type by putting
'signed' in front of 'char', as shown in bold in the test program below.
Then I get this result:
Quote:
scr32 = 4294447482


Test program emulates PCD's signed char data type:
Quote:
#include <18F46K22.h>
#fuses NOWDT
#use delay(internal=4M)
#use rs232(UART1, baud=9600, ERRORS)

static unsigned int32 _bme280_get20bits(signed char *p)
{
unsigned int32 ret = 0;
signed char c;

ret += *p++;
ret *= 256;

ret += *p++;
ret *= 16;

c = *p;
c >>= 4;
c &= 0xF;
ret += c;

return(ret);
}

unsigned int8 read[8] = {0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0x17, 0xA0, 0x77, 0x68};

//=================================
void main()
{
unsigned int32 scr32;

scr32 = _bme280_get20bits(&read[3]);

printf("scr32 = %lu \r", scr32);

while(TRUE);
}


To make the program run the same way in PCD as it does in PCH, add
'unsigned' in front of the declarations of both 'char' variables in that routine.
Example:
Quote:

static unsigned int32 _bme280_get20bits(unsigned char *p)
{
unsigned int32 ret = 0;
unsigned char c;

Personally I'd just change all references to 'char' to 'byte'. I've found this
to be the simplest thing. Only use 'char'' for things that are text. For all
things that want a 8bit integer and to work the same on PCB/PCM/PCH/PCD,
the byte data type is the easiest thing to use. Very Happy

Sigh, this variable 'type' problem that spans different PIC families reminds me of coding in FORTRAN a long, long time ago. Back then I learned real quick to define / assign 'integer' to variables beginning with 'I' to 'N'.
I think the 'problem' is that CCS doesn't have a common standard for what variable types are and you can change the 'default' as well ?

That flexibility is inherent in C. Not really a CCS problem.
However (of course), it is 'tightened up' somewhat if you use the ANSII
directive. Char though is the one type where this still remains. ANSII
C allows the char type to be signed or unsigned. Intel based C's have
the char as signed, while the ARM processors have it as unsigned.

The page below is very right, saying that you should always explicitly use
signed or unsigned to ensure predictable results:
