I2C not working properly

Yes I have.

The log of transactions show that the bus works sometimes, and then hangs waiting for the event flags.

How many devices do you have hooked up to the I2C bus? And what are the pull-ups you are using? There is a max capacitance spec (I believe its 400pF) that needs to be met.

I've found that its better to have stronger pull-ups (especially if you have several devices on the bus). The one thing you can try is to decrease the speed of the bus (run it at 100k), and see if that gives you better reliability.

The only suggestion at this time that I have is to lower the pull-ups (to around 5-10k).

Two devices should not exceed the input capacitance requirements of the bus. Daniel

I have 2 devices.

4k7 pull-ups and am running at 100,000kbps. Thanks for your input. Keep going.

My problem is that only start and stop bit work, but no address or data is sent over the bus. hi, I have the exact same problem, I can see the start bit, but no 7bit address. My code is inspired by k7g2lm3 code, except that I use the I2C1 port. I took a look to the solution of his problem, disabling other GPIO but it did not worked for me.. :( Anyone as an idea? k7g2lm3, if you see that, it would be great to have your advice on this!
