- Sat May 13, 2017 1:25 pm #65896 Anyone had any success getting a DS1307 RTC to work on I2C, with a Lolin NodeMCU ? (With Arduino IDE)
I got it wired up, configured D2 & D3 for SDL & SCL, and ran I2C scanner. I could see 3x device, although only the Tiny RTC connected. None were correctly addressed.
When I tried the examples, I got weird values.
I then tried the same code and same Tiny RTC on my Uno. All worked fine.
Any help or guidance much appreciated

UPDATE........
I got it working. Had to remove R2 & R3 from the Tiny RTD board (They tie SDA & SCL to 5V!!!), and use the "Wire.begin(x.y)" instruction - where x&y are the GPIO numbers (Not the NodeMCU pin numbers)

I purchased the MakerFocus boards at Amazon and got it to work fine with a uSD card reader on HSPI and a DS3231 Precision RTC (same pins and library as the DS1307). Had to change the CS or Chip Select for the HSPI for the uSD reader from pin 4 to pin 15 in the Arduino IDE to get it to work.

But when I got the LoLin NodeMCU version 3, V3, I cannot get the uSD card interface on HSPI to work.

The code says card failed to initialize.
Same code, same wiring as the MakerFocus NodeMCU, same libraries and Arduino IDE 1.8.5 with latest ESP8266 -12E core in the board manager.

I'm stumped for now.
