SparkFun Qwiic MicroPressure Sensor library and Arduino RP2040 Connect not working

Hi

I have a few of these sensors bought for a project, and I’ve tried getting the library to work with an Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. The library crashes the RP2040 when I download it, so I can’t use it. I notice the library hasn’t been updated for 3 years (before the RP cores came out) so I can understand this.

Is there a chance of an update to the library so it works with the RP2040 Connect? This board is at the heart of our ecosystem, so some how, we need a solution.

Many thanks

Mark

You more-or-less have 3 options:

  1. Convert the Arduino library over to circuitpython

  2. Use a different main control board

  3. Interface the RP2040 with a 2nd microcontroller that supports arduino and have that board talk to the RP2040

Sorry, I should have mentioned, I need to stay in the Arduino C++ ecosystem as well, and I’m on v 2.x of the Arduino developer. The appeal of this sensors was i2c, and the pre-packaged library. There are a few that have an analogue output that I can use as an alternative but I’m keen to make this work.
