Order #000461769 Phil Spargo Both the INA228 and the ADS1219 are not being found on the Qwiic bus. I have power to the sensors, I’ve done a factory restore several times. The only sensors found are the internal one on the datalogger (Battery) I think that either I have 2 bad sensor PCB’s (probably not likely) or the data logger it self is bad. Please help! ---

I don’t see either of those sensors on the list of supported devices? > **[Supported Devices | DataLoggerIoT Documentation](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_DataLogger/resources/supported_devices)** > > The following lists the devices/boards supported by the DataLogger IoT boards. New drivers to support a device will be listed under the firmware version. ---

I don’t either. I thought that if it had a Qwiic connector, it would work. Feeling kinda stupid at the moment. I need to measure voltage and current. Any ideas? Will the Tech team write drivers for these in the future? Are the sensors confirmed NOT working with the Datalogger? ---

They indeed won’t work :-/ Yes, the team still adds devices [SparkFun\_DataLogger/docs/relnotes at main · sparkfun/SparkFun\_DataLogger · GitHub](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_DataLogger/tree/main/docs/relnotes) You can use most any 3.3v-IO MCU that has i2c and wire both sensors to the bus (Raspberry Pi, etc)…if you don’t have one already, I’d get one that has an SD card (or add a [logger](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-openlog-with-headers.html) to one) I would note that both of those (INA228 and ADS1219) have a default i2c address of 0x40, so you’ll want to modify the jumpers on _one_ sensor board to change its address…[the INA228 is much simpler, you’d simply sever the A0 jumper to make its new address 0x41](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_Qwiic_Current_Sensor_INA2XX/hardware/hardware%20overview#solder-jumpers) (and leave the ADS1219 set to 0x40) It also might be a good idea to disable _one_ sensor board’s set of i2c pull-up resistors (sever the 2 small traces between the “i2c” jumper pads); I made a quick illustration of where you’d need to cut the traces (highlighted in green) on the INA228 (leaving the ADS1219 unmodified) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/sparkfun/original/2X/3/346d7b47dd3238b0be3d7efb1f79e79151791fda.jpeg) Then go through the rest of the hookup guides [INA228](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_Qwiic_Current_Sensor_INA2XX/hardware/hardware%20overview#ina228-and-ina237-digital-power-monitors) [ADS1219](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_Qwiic_ADC_ADS1219/hardware_overview/#ads1219-analog-to-digital-converter) and you should be all set 🙂 ---

Using the datalogger IoT, what sensors does Sparkfun have that will log voltage and current? That’s why I made the purchase. Thanks! ---

Well, that part is hopefully some good news! [ADS1015 4 Channel 12-bit ADC](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-qwiic-12-bit-adc-4-channel-ads1015.html#content-features) [ACS73800 Power Meter](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-power-meter-acs37800-qwiic.html#content-features) Are [both listed as supported devices](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_DataLogger/resources/supported_devices) for the DataloggerIoT, so if those suit your project your could just swap them in instead ---

Is there a sample setup file for posting data to thingspeak? I’m having issues with the “channel” . What is the correct format for entry? Thanks! ---

No, but most any basic sketch should be compatible…I usually make a test sketch that just sends a bit of serial text output. Are you following this? [ThingSpeak | DataLoggerIoT Documentation](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_DataLogger/settings/services/iot-services/iot_thingspeak#creating-and-connecting-to-thingspeak) (it covers basically everything we know about it)
