I have 2 devices connected on an I2c chain. One is a 8 x 30 character lcd display, and the other is an sd card module.

I can get either to work independantly, but if i try to send data to one, then the other device several times a second, i either see the sd card module not accepting commands and/or garbled data on the lcd screen.

My suspicion is poorly implemented I2c on the one or both of the devices, they are both from the same source and I have had issues with clockstretching not working properly in the past. Is there anything i can do, apart from considering using 2 i2c channels on different pins ?

thanks

What are the model numbers of the devices. Do you have links to the datasheets for them? Also, are you using the hardware I2C channel or a software-based channel?

this is one device http://www.byvac.com/bv3/index.php?rout ... duct_id=65

and this the other http://www.byvac.com/bv3/index.php?rout ... duct_id=80

i'm using software i2c because i am using com2 on a zx24n so no choice.

hope this helps
