Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues

  • I2C Communication: Check SDA/SCL connections and addresses
  • Power Issues: Verify voltage levels and current capacity
  • Sensor Readings: Check pin assignments and wiring
  • LCD Display: Verify I2C address (usually 0x27)

Measurement Points

  • 3.3V Rail: Should be stable at 3.3V
  • I2C Signals: Should show clear clock and data transitions
  • Analog Inputs: Should vary with sensor changes
  • Digital Inputs: Should show clear HIGH/LOW states
