Wrong SCL / SDA (MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL) for PIMORONI_TINY2040

openby charrochopened 2022-06-01updated 2026-03-19

I am trying to get I2C working on my Tiny2040 board. Using the board as a responder in a responder/controller manner. I have some minimal code to set up the board using pin four as SDA and pin five as SCL as described in the GPIO diagrams below:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/tiny-2040

I am using https://github.com/epmoyer/I2CResponder/blob/main/i2c_responder.py with a minimal setup code that looks like the following on bus 0:

i2c_responder = I2CResponder(0, sda_gpio=0,scl_gpio=1,responder_address=0x41)
while 1:
    if i2c_responder.read_is_pending():
        i2c_responder.put_read_data(0x2)

And for testing, I tried on bus 1 as well against pin 6 and 7:

i2c_responder = I2CResponder(1, sda_gpio=6,scl_gpio=7,responder_address=0x41)
while 1:
    if i2c_responder.read_is_pending():
        i2c_responder.put_read_data(0x2)

I am using an RPI as a controller executing: sudo i2cdetect -y 1

Now the strange thing is:

  1. I get 0 response on bus 0 (i2cdetect detects no device)
  2. I get a signal on bus one and appear on my RPI (i2cdetect detects the device and I can query the value)

I was perusing the code and saw this:
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/blob/master/ports/rp2/boards/PIMORONI_TINY2040/mpconfigboard.h

#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL  (4)
#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SDA  (5)

Should it not be:

#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL  **(5)**
#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SDA  **(4)**

I tried to recompile the above with the mentioned change without much effect. Any thoughts?

esp32: Allow boards to configure I2C pins using new macros.

port-esp32

Adds ability to specify default I2C pins in ESP32 board definitions. eg.

/ports/esp32/boards/UM_TINYPICO/mpconfigboard.h

#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL (22)
#define MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SDA (21)

The TinyPICO board prefers I2C0 on pins SDA=21, SCL=22, rather than the default SDA=18, SCL=19

This change adds MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL and MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SDA to the UM_TINYPICO board def, used by machine_i2c.c, along with UM_FEATHERS2 and UM_TINYS2 boards.

Before:

>>> from machine import Pin, I2C
>>> i2c = I2C(0)
>>> i2c
I2C(0, scl=18, sda=19, freq=400000)
>>> i2c1 = I2C(1)
>>> i2c1
I2C(1, scl=25, sda=26, freq=400000)

After:

>>> from machine import Pin, I2C
>>> i2c = I2C(0)
>>> i2c
I2C(0, scl=22, sda=21, freq=400000)     <-- was 18 / 19
>>> i2c1 = I2C(1)
>>> print(i2c1)
I2C(1, scl=25, sda=26, freq=400000)

tinypico-specs-v2-c

It works!

To make it consistent with STM32 and SPI board specific pin number overrides, I've rename the I2C defines

from to
I2C_0_DEFAULT_SCL MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SCL
I2C_0_DEFAULT_SDA MICROPY_HW_I2C0_SDA
I2C_1_DEFAULT_SCL MICROPY_HW_I2C1_SCL
I2C_1_DEFAULT_SDA MICROPY_HW_I2C1_SDA
