Hi all!
In the past I purchased the smart plant pi and have now finally gotten around to excitedly setting it up. I didn’t seem to have any issues with set up until the step that requires you to input ic2detect -y 1 in the console. The command works for me but does not output the intended result, I get empty values for all of the ports. I followed the link that showed how to set up ic2 and it says enabled for me, but it appears to not be working. I’ve checked my wires quite a few times with no results but can check again or do any other recommendations as needed. I appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

Hi,
This has got to be some problem on the Raspberry Pi setup. You should be picking up all sorts of devices. Redo your i2c setup.

Hello, I have rewired my ic2 port wires since they were the most likely culprit yet it is still reading all ports as empty. Here’s an imgur album with pictures of what it looks like at the moment. Let me know if anything looks off. imgur.com/a/nMU3aZp |

I followed this tutorial and got my result similar to their final screenshots where it shows i2c as enabled. I can show a screenshot if you’d like. Is there anything else you’d recommend? |

Can you plug one I2C device directly into the Pi2Grover board and disconnect the rest of the SmartPlantPi system? Run i2cdetect -y 1 and post the results.

OK. That is great. Now we know that your i2c is working. Plug the SmartPlantPi system and post the i2c detect results.
Then, if it doesn't work, repeat the process unplugging one I2c device at a time until you see the devices. Then we can figure out which device is bad.

Plugging it all back in revealed empty values for everything but once I unplugged the temp/humidity sensor from the i2c bus the values began showing up properly again. Where am I to go from here? Is setup still possible? Here are the images of what I saw imgur.com/a/YZGYCob |

OK. Now we know what is bad!
Here is an RMA for the Temp/Humidity Sensor. Return the defective sensor and we will send you a new one.
