MCC 134 Board Not Responding


ekettle

Question

I've got two MCC134's and I can't get either one of them to work individually or together. When I run sudo daqhats_read_eeproms it finds the boards just fine. Then when I run the MCC manager and ask it to list devices, it lists them correctly. However, when I click on open, nothing happens and I get an error that says board not responding. I've updated everything. I have no other boards installed. When using one MCC134 it's set to 0 and when trying both boards together, I had one at 0 and the other at 1 for addresses. I am using a Raspberry Pi touch screen display. I also have SPI and I2C activated. Looking for ideas????

Hello @ekettle.

Which Raspberry Pi module and touch screen display models are you using?

Which OS are you using?

Disconnect the touch screen display and connect an external monitor to the HDMI port.  Retest the MCC 134 boards work with the MCC DAQ HAT Manager.

(NOTE:  LCD displays that use the GPIO header (not HDMI) usually use the SPI interface and will prevent the DAQ HATs from working. Even if the display is removed, the driver is probably still loaded by /boot/config.txt and will cause issues with the DAQ HATs. If you have a problem with your device and have used a GPIO header display with your Raspberry Pi then consult your display hardware documentation for how to remove the driver.)

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. The touch screen is the Raspberry Pi Touch Display. The display connects to the Pi via ribbon cable that connects to the DSI port. It only uses power from the GPIO port.

I'm running the Raspbian OS Version 11.

Even if I don't connect the display and just VNC into the Pi, the MCC 134 boards give the same error.

This is what is in my /boot/config.txt
