I am using STM32F103C8T6 and developed on STM32CubeIDE. This equipment has six similar I2C boards (same ICs, same function) connected to the master which are addressed accordingly. Each of these boards have 8 digital Inputs amounting to 8 bit value as data from each board. A few of this equipment were made and working fine for over 3 years period.
off recent, the new machine made, has a peculiar problem. When no digital inputs to any of these 6 boards, three boards (Boards 4, 5 & 6) give out an 8 bit integer value (eg: 182, 212, 247).
Doubting the boards I switch places. Boards previous at 4,5 & 6 are now placed at 1, 2 & 3. Despite switching places, boards 4, 5 & 6 give out same 182, 212 & 247.
This means the problem is not board related. Then where are these values creeping in from.
Help needed to solve this problem, have been struggling for last few days
Thanking in advance.
