I found this, but can not understand clear!

Hi
we had also same problems  with the HMC5843 on Sparkefun modules.
On one we double the capacitance of  5µF to 10uF.
Then the  module were running.
The new one with the  HMC5883L runs  without problems.
It seems that there is a error on the old chip.
To use the chips with 5V I2c you can use 2 Fets or a level translator ic.
Voltages over 3.3V on the I2c lines can destroy the chip!
On Mikrokopter there use a 200 Ohm series resistors on the i2c line.
We destroy the LPC2148 chip as we use the mikrokontroller motor controllers (5V I2c) and
had situations that the LPC power was down and  the motor controllers not.
Also you will destroy the electronic if the ground wire is broken.

Is it possible that the mkk switched to 5V level on I2C, when powered from 4S and that killed the LPC 3.3V line? How can it happen?! My ground was connected inside the battery, therefore was only the SDA and SCL connected.

Sergey. We have to forget the PWM because it is slow, therefore I just now familiarize with I2C, because it quick. But then what to use?

Hi!
If there is no connection to esc's anymore - it's a sign of probable damage. Can't really say however what was the particular reason for it. My only explanation could be the wrong balancer connection for powering the board.
What you still can try is to connect an i2c level converter to check if it helps. But I wouldn't really recommend trying to work with mk esc's and probably damaged bus. Imho I2C bus is generally a bad and unreliable solution for controlling such kind of devices, especially in case of probable bus damage.

Hi David,

I am again in trouble. I want to replace my powering from 3S to 4S because my neutral-hower-throttle was around 80% of throttle.

For to do it: I removed the power from main power distribution board and made a connector for balancer port of the same battery as feed the power board. On balancer I connected only the first 3 cell and therefore I hope that can watch the consumption while i got my atto sensor.
I powered first the AP over balancer and a few minutes later the main connectors. The AP started perfect, the I2C ESC-s - what I got also from You - started as regular, but at the end all show red LED on, so indocate no signal on I2C0 bus!!!!
So I can not start the motors!!!!

A few minutes later I made everything back to 3S config. But the problem is the same! What can happen? How can I check the I2C communiction of AP?

SilaS
