Electronic – Reading back 0xffff for temperature from I2C BMP085 temp/pressure sensor

i2csensortemperature

I'm interfacing a Rabbit 5760 CPU to a Bosch BMP085 sensor via I2C. Everything is fine except reading the temperature register is reading back 0xffff (see BP_FINISHTEMP case in switch). I can't see why it isn't working. The code is below. Can anyone see what's wrong? The pressure and calibration values read back fine. Thanks if anyone can help.

This started as a comment but it really is an answer:

You seem to have far more code than is necessary for debugging a basic hardware function. You should be first attempting to be sure you know how to operate the IC correctly. Asking people to wade through and debug code which adds layers on top of basic functionality is a far harder way of doing things. So -

Simplify what you are doing to the the bare minimum so you are

  • testing hardware functionality

  • and your understanding of it.

Only once you are sure of this should you add layers of complexity.

It's reasonably likely that you are doing something wrong in the processing rather than basic data inputing. Your code needs to address the minimum possible hardware interaction needed to obtain the core signals.
