SPI Problem Arduino Mega with pressure sensor MS5803-05BA - arduino

I need your help for a project.
I have actually 2 parallel sensors of the type: MS5803-05BA, which supports I2C and SPI connection. One sensor is on I2C bus and one sensor is on SPI. They are both sending to my Arduino Mega. The I2C works perfect with short cables.
Here the datasheet of the sensor:
https://www.amsys.de/downloads/data/MS5803-05BA-AMSYS-datasheet.pdf
For some informations who wants to do the same with I2C. Here you can find a good code. (You can find the other MS580X typs there too). For the communication between the sensor and the Arduino Mega you need an logic converter like this txs0108e, which can be bought with a break out board (you need pull up resistors on the sensor side!):
https://github.com/millerlp/MS5803_05
But to my problem: I have an sensor distance for about 3-5 meters and the I2C connections doesnt work. Yes I can try to fix the pullup resistors but it doesnt worked for me (I have tried some different lower resistors between 3-10kOhm). Therefore I want to switch to the SPI bus.
I have edit the code from https://github.com/millerlp/MS5803_05, https://github.com/vic320/Arduino-MS5803-14BA and https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/13720/teensy-spi-and-pressure-sensor.
The File is added. (You have to put the .h and .cpp files in the folder of the arduino code (.spi).
I have problems with the code from the SPI (ccp and header). There is no right communication. I have checked my cables twice. I couldnt find a problem and the connection with the txs0108e works for parallel I2C sensor. Both sensors are working on I2C.
Here is the main code (arduino .spi) for SPI and I2C parallel:

Arduino USB serial connection to Raspberry Pi (Rasbian) not initializing

I have an Arduino Nano 33 iot that outputs data via Serial at 38400 baud, connected via USB. Setup starts with Serial.Begin. The Raspberry Pi 4, running Raspian buster is set up to receive the data. It can see the correct port, /dev/ttyACM0, but nothing comes in.
I even installed the correct Arduino IDE and SAMD board package on the Raspberry Pi. It still does not find it until after the IDE uploads the replacement sketch and the CPU is reset. The IDE can grab the serial number and board type though. I can then exit out of the IDE and the Arduino is still pumping out serial to the Raspberry Pi.
The only other way to make it work is by pressing the reset button on the Arduino every time a reboot is done on the Raspberry Pi. Serial was tested on the Pi using screen.
Neither of these options are convenient. What am I missing?

PPM output is noisy when reading from sensors over i2c

Please excuse me for the lengthiness of the problem but its beyond my knowhow, I dont know where else to go.
I am trying to send a PPM signal to a FlySkyi10 radio over the trainer cable. When using the PPM code below I am able to send the correct PPM signals to my radio.
//this programm will put out a PPM signal
//////////////////////CONFIGURATION///////////////////////////////
#define chanel_number 8 //set the number of chanels
#define default_servo_value 1500 //set the default servo value
#define PPM_FrLen 22500 //set the PPM frame length in microseconds (1ms = 1000µs)
#define PPM_PulseLen 300 //set the pulse length
#define onState 1 //set polarity of the pulses: 1 is positive, 0 is negative
#define sigPin 10 //set PPM signal output pin on the arduino
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/*this array holds the servo values for the ppm signal
change theese values in your code (usually servo values move between 1000 and 2000)*/
int ppm[chanel_number];
void setup(){
//initiallize default ppm values
for(int i=0; i<chanel_number; i++){
ppm[i]= default_servo_value;
}
pinMode(sigPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(sigPin, !onState); //set the PPM signal pin to the default state (off)
cli();
TCCR1A = 0; // set entire TCCR1 register to 0
TCCR1B = 0;
OCR1A = 100; // compare match register, change this
TCCR1B |= (1 << WGM12); // turn on CTC mode
TCCR1B |= (1 << CS11); // 8 prescaler: 0,5 microseconds at 16mhz
TIMSK1 |= (1 << OCIE1A); // enable timer compare interrupt
sei();
}
void loop(){
//put main code here
static int val = 1;
ppm[0] = ppm[0] + val;
if(ppm[0] >= 2000){ val = -1; }
if(ppm[0] <= 1000){ val = 1; }
delay(10);
}
ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect){ //leave this alone
static boolean state = true;
TCNT1 = 0;
if(state) { //start pulse
digitalWrite(sigPin, onState);
OCR1A = PPM_PulseLen * 2;
state = false;
}
else{ //end pulse and calculate when to start the next pulse
static byte cur_chan_numb;
static unsigned int calc_rest;
digitalWrite(sigPin, !onState);
state = true;
if(cur_chan_numb >= chanel_number){
cur_chan_numb = 0;
calc_rest = calc_rest + PPM_PulseLen;//
OCR1A = (PPM_FrLen - calc_rest) * 2;
calc_rest = 0;
}
else{
OCR1A = (ppm[cur_chan_numb] - PPM_PulseLen) * 2;
calc_rest = calc_rest + ppm[cur_chan_numb];
cur_chan_numb++;
}
}
}
But, the problem comes in when I read data from a sensor over i2c and some other functions. As soon as I use the i2c code, the PPM signal becomes noisy, and what should be a 1500ms signal, has noise of +/-20ms.
I dont want to make this post too bulky, I have used the i2c library for the LSM9DS0 to read sensor data. I have not used interrupts anywhere and I will have to have a closer look at the library. unfortunately i dont understand much of it. The simplified code for reading from the seensors is below. the website for the libraries is here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-lsm9ds0-accelerometer-gyro-magnetometer-9-dof-breakouts/arduino-code

Does anyone have an suggestions?
I changed the method of reading data from the sensors to SPI, which solved the problem. All noise in the ppm signal has been eliminated.

Trying to send a float value over SPI between 2 Arduinos

I am currently trying to send a float value across two Arduinos via SPI. Currently I am working to send a static value of 2.25 across and then read it via the Serial.println() command. I would then want to pass a float value from a linear displacement sensor. My end goal is to be able to have the master ask for information, the slave gathers the appropriate data and packages it and then master receives said data and does what it needs with it.
Currently I am getting an error "call of overloaded 'println(byte [7])' is ambiguous" and I am not to sure why I am getting this error. I am currently a mechanical engineering student and I am crash-coursing myself through C/C++. I am not entirely positive about what I am doing. I know that a float is 4 bytes and I am attempting to create a buffer of 7 bytes to store the float and the '\n' char with room to spare. My current code is below.
Master:
#include <SPI.h>
void setup() {
pinMode(SS,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SS,HIGH);
SPI.begin();
SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV4);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(SS,LOW);
float a = 2.25;
SPI.transfer(a);
SPI.transfer('\n');
digitalWrite(SS,HIGH);
}
My slave code is as follows:
#include <SPI.h>
byte buf[7];
volatile byte pos = 0;
volatile boolean process_it = false;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(MISO,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(MISO,LOW);
SPCR |= _BV(SPE); // SPI Enable, sets this Arduino to Slave
SPCR |= _BV(SPIE); // SPI interrupt enabled
}
ISR(SPI_STC_vect) {
// Interrupt Service Routine(SPI_(SPI Transfer Complete)_vector)
byte c = SPDR;
// SPDR = SPI Data Register, so you are saving the byte of information in that register to byte c
if (pos < sizeof buf) {
buf[pos++] = c;
if (c == '\n') {
process_it = true;
}
}
}
void loop() {
if (process_it = true) {
Serial.println(buf);
pos = 0;
process_it = false;
}
}
I figured out what I needed to do and I wanted to post my finished code. I also added an ability to transfer more than one float value.
Master:
#include <SPI.h>
float a = 3.14;
float b = 2.25;
uint8_t storage [12];
float buff[2] = {a, b};
void setup()
{
digitalWrite(SS, HIGH);
SPI.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV8);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(SS, LOW);
memcpy(storage, &buff, 8);
Serial.print("storage[0] = "); Serial.println(storage[0]); // the
following serial prints were to check i was getting the right decimal
numbers for the floats.
Serial.print("storage[1] = "); Serial.println(storage[1]);
Serial.print("storage[2] = "); Serial.println(storage[2]);
Serial.print("storage[3] = "); Serial.println(storage[3]);
Serial.print("storage[4] = "); Serial.println(storage[4]);
Serial.print("storage[5] = "); Serial.println(storage[5]);
Serial.print("storage[6] = "); Serial.println(storage[6]);
Serial.print("storage[7] = "); Serial.println(storage[7]);
SPI.transfer(storage, sizeof storage ); //SPI library allows a user to
transfer a whole array of bytes and you need to include the size of the
array.
digitalWrite(SS, HIGH);
delay(1000);
}
For my Slave code:
#include <SPI.h>
byte storage [8];
volatile byte pos;
volatile boolean process;
float buff[2];
void setup()
{
pinMode(MISO,OUTPUT);
SPCR |= _BV(SPE);
SPCR |= _BV(SPIE);
pos = 0;
process = false;
Serial.begin(9600);
}
ISR(SPI_STC_vect)
{
byte gathered = SPDR;
if( pos < sizeof storage)
{
storage[pos++] = gathered;
}
else
process = true;
}
void loop()
{
if( process )
{
Serial.print("storage[0] = "); Serial.println(storage[0]);
Serial.print("storage[1] = "); Serial.println(storage[1]);
Serial.print("storage[2] = "); Serial.println(storage[2]);
Serial.print("storage[3] = "); Serial.println(storage[3]);
Serial.print("storage[4] = "); Serial.println(storage[4]);
Serial.print("storage[5] = "); Serial.println(storage[5]);
Serial.print("storage[6] = "); Serial.println(storage[6]);
Serial.print("storage[7] = "); Serial.println(storage[7]);
memcpy(buff,&storage,8);
Serial.print("This is buff[0]");Serial.println(buff[0]);
Serial.print("This is buff[1]");Serial.println(buff[1]);
storage[pos] = 0;
pos = 0;
process = false;
}
}
The immediate problem is that Serial.print doesn't know what to do with a byte array. Either declare it as a char array or cast it in the print statement:
char buf[7];
OR
Serial.print((char*) buf);
Either way, though, it's not going to show up as a float like you want.
An easier way to do all this is to use memcpy or a union to go back and forth between float and bytes. On the master end:
uint8_t buf[4];
memcpy(buf, &a, 4);
Then use SPI to send 4 bytes. Reverse it on the peripheral end.
Note that sending '\n' as the termination byte is a bad idea because it can lead to weird behavior, since one of the bytes in the float could easily be 0x0a, the hexadecimal equivalent of '\n'.

Full speed on ITG3200 with Arduino

I am using a ITG3200(Sparkfun breakout board) for my project. I was trying to boost the sample rate of ITG3200 to over 2K HZ. I have already soldered two 2.2K pull-up resistors on the sensor and close the clockin pads. I encountered a few problems here. It was connected to a Arduino Uno.
The highest sample rate I can achieve was around 500 Hz. I have changed the clock to 400K. However, without doing that, I should still get something over 1000 Hz, right? I attached my code below.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appriecated!

500Hz means 2ms for each iteration of your loop() function. Your loop function is reading from Wire and writing to the Serial port, which may take more time than 2ms, depending on what you're sending and what your baud rate is.
Judging from your baud rate (230400), it may take roughly 0.5ms to send each measurement (estimated at 12 characters each) if there is no flow control from the other side. Try writing to serial less frequently to see if your performance goes up.
I tested the serial writes, the I2C port and the clock speed. Found the major issues were the redundant communication to i2c. For instance, the 6 bits data can be read in one round of i2c communication. I refered the code below:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ControlEverythingCommunity/ITG3200/master/Arduino/ITG-3200.ino
In addition, using Teensy is also helpful.
The speed of the output was checked by using the oscilloscope with the I2C debug function.

You have to provide your own offsets. To obtain it, you can use this link
I hope this code is useful.
I know it is too late but maybe will help others...
The first MPU6050 initialization part in the setup() is done before even the mux initialized.
So you have to do the following, inside the setup(), at the right order:
initialize wire
initialize the outputs for the mux
select the first MPU using the right output levels
initialize the first MPU6050
select the second MPU using the right output levels
initialize the second MPU6050
select the third MPU using the right output levels
initialize the third MPU6050
