XBee 3 Development Board

Qwiic System

Hi All,

I am trying to plug a sensor (9DOF IMU from adafruit) to the qwiic port on the digi xbee development board.

My xbee mesh network is setup correctly. Using XCTU application I can see my nodes are connected. And when I connect a consol to their serial port I can see data when typed on XCTU.

However when I plug the sensor to the board, I do not see any new data on the XCTU coming from the sensor.

I did not use any micropython library yet to extract/transform from the senor, but I was hoping to see some hexa data at least from the go.

Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
OZ

I2C devices don’t send data on their own, they have to be polled for data. You will need to write some code to get anything from the sensor.

Also, just to note - you’ll want to disconnect power from the xbee before connecting/disconnecting peripherals
