TypeError: can't convert bytearray to int

Post by nikhiledutech » Thu Apr 26, 2018 11:52 am

hi i am currently using I2C to interface color sensor. But facing issue in the following line.

Code: Select all

import pyb
from machine import Pin, I2C

#I2C 2 Initialisation
i2c = I2C(scl = ('PB8'), sda = ('PB9'))


#Color Sensor adrress
COLOR_SENSOR_ADDR  =  (0x39<<1)


COLOR_SENSOR_REG_CTL	=	0x80
REG_CTL_POWER    =    0x01
REG_CTL_ADC_EN   =    0x02

#Color read Register 
#COLOR_SENSOR_REG_CMD 0x90         //The REG_BLOCK_READ and REG_GREEN_LOW direction are the same

REG_GREEN_LOW    =    0x90
REG_GREEN_HIGH   =    0x91
REG_RED_LOW      =    0x92
REG_RED_HIGH     =    0x93
REG_BLUE_LOW     =    0x94
REG_BLUE_HIGH    =    0x95
REG_CLEAR_LOW    =    0x96
REG_CLEAR_HIGH   =    0x97

#Color read Register */
COLOR_SENSOR_REG_CMD	=	 0xB0

def min(X,Y):
	if ((X) < (Y)):
		return (X)
	else:

In the Read register function i am facing the following error of "TypeError: can't convert bytearray to int" . Can anyone help me out.

The second argument of i2c.readfrom_mem_into is expected to be an int, not an array. So no need to copy the address into a bytearry first.
