ESP32 Bus Invalid State, TwoWire() Can't init Error with Serial GPS and I2C OLED

Postby TTrupp » Sat Jul 21, 2018 11:31 pm

Does anyone know what this "i2cCheckLineState(): Bus Invalid State, TwoWire() Can't init" error is about?

I'm running the Adafruit ESP32 with their Ultimate GPS breakout v3 with the Monochrome 1.3" 128x64 OLED.

The GPS connected via serial2, and is working fine without the OLED.

The OLED connected via I2C, and is working fine without the GPS.

When they are both running simultaneously, eventually it crashes with the following error within esp32-hal-i2c.c:

Sometimes this error will occur almost straight away, sometimes it'll take a few minutes, but eventually the program will crash, and the OLED will become frozen.


Here are the pins I'm using:
// GPS TX: Huzzah32 RX/16
// GPS RX: Huzzah32 TX/17
// GPS Vin: 3V
// GPS RX: Ground
// OLED Data: Huzzah32 SDA/23
// OLED Clk: Huzzah32 SCL/22
// OLED Rst: Huzzah32 A5/4
// OLED Vin: 3V
// OLED Gnd: Ground



Since the GPS is running on the serial, and the OLED is over I2C, I don't see how they're messing with each other, although admittedly I'm relatively new to electronics.

I've tried a bunch of different code combinations trying to prevent this from happening, including trying to disable the GPS while the OLED was updating via the enable pin, and while using the adafruit GPS library.

Here is a very simple version of the code which replicates the issue:

Code: Select all

// GPS Initialization 
#define GPSSerial Serial2
#include <HardwareSerial.h>

// OLED Initialization 
#define SSD1306_LCDHEIGHT 64
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#define OLED_RESET A5
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

void setup() {
  // wait for hardware serial to appear
  while (!Serial);

  // make this baud rate fast enough to we aren't waiting on it
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // 9600 baud is the default rate for the Ultimate GPS
  GPSSerial.begin(9600);
  
  setup_OLEDDisplayer();
}

void setup_OLEDDisplayer()   {  
  display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3D);  // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3D (for the 128x64)
  display.display(); // adafruit splashscreen.
  delay(1000);
}

int timer = millis();
int counter = 0;

void OLEDCounter(){
  
  if(timer>millis()-10) return;
  timer = millis();

  Serial.println("update display");
  
  display.clearDisplay();
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);
  display.setTextSize(1);
  display.setCursor(0,0);
  display.println(counter);
  display.display();
  counter++;
}
     
void loop() {
  if (Serial.available()) {
    char c = Serial.read();
    GPSSerial.write(c);
  }
  if (GPSSerial.available()) {
    char c = GPSSerial.read();
    Serial.write(c);
  }

  OLEDCounter();
}



Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you ever get this sorted, as I have exactly the same problem?

I have had very similar issues with the i2c bus not working until it reset itself, sometimes right away, sometimes not. I found that re-initializing when an error occurred fixed everything. I am on Arduino IDE and just run Wire.begin(x,y,freq) again. It sounds like a bandaid fix, and probably is, but I haven't found a solution otherwise online...
