PCF8574 - begin() throws error - staehla - 06-06-2022
Hi all,
i am pretty new to ESP32 and programming with Arduion IDE. I have purchased a KC868-A8-V1.4 board and now i wanted to do the Realy programming according to the instruction from your site KC868-A8 programming
Correct type of board is selected NodeMCU-32S and the pins in pins_arduino.h are changed to 4 + 5, PCF8574 library V2.3.1 from Renzo Mischianti is installed.
The problem i am facing is that the PCF8574 throws all the time "error" instead of "OK" and therefore the relays are not working.
In order to test whether the board has a hardware problem, I have also tried once the TASMATO accoring to the video Tasmato KC868-A8, this has worked without any problems. So the hardware is ok.
Do you know what i am doing wrong that the PCF8574 throws the error?
Any help would be appreaciated
Used code:
PHP Code:
/*
Kincony KC868-A8
Relays example
*/
#include "Arduino.h"
#include "PCF8574.h"
#define I2C_RELAYS_ADR 0x24
PCF8574 pcf(I2C_RELAYS_ADR);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println(F("Start Kincony KC868-A8 Relays example…"));
pcf.pinMode(P0, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P1, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P2, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P3, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P4, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P5, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P6, OUTPUT);
pcf.pinMode(P7, OUTPUT);
Serial.print("Init PCF8574… ");
if (pcf.begin()){
Serial.println(F("Ok"));
}else {
Serial.println(F("Error"));}
}
void loop() {
pcf.digitalWrite(P0, HIGH);
Serial.print(F("Relay #")); Serial.print(P0); Serial.println(F(" ON"));
delay(10000);
pcf.digitalWrite(P0, LOW);
Serial.print(F("Relay #")); Serial.print(P0); Serial.println(F(" OFF"));
delay(10000);
}

because you have not define the IIC bus for SDA , SCL pins in config file.

Hi admin,
Thank you for your answer but I have done this already.
I have now figure it out what the problem was, it does not work with esp32 version higher than 2.0.0. With version 2.0.0 and lower it works.

maybe is pcf8574 library's compatibility problem.
