Well that is quite a bummer. I'm trying to test now whether I really destroyed my Pi but it does not seem good. Though the GPIO-test of WiringPi shows no damaged pins. However, I did have the same issues with the 3V3 pin for the sensor. So Vdd to 3v3, GND to GND and PWM output to GPIO 18. And basica...

Could this be the same cause why my TSL-235R ( http://www.ams.com/eng/content/download/250249/975925/142301 ) is not working? It is a chip that is connected to 5V or 3.3V and to ground, with a third pin going to GPIO 18 PWM and puts out a signal between 100-500.000 Hz. When the light intensity is no...

I am working with the TSL-235R and I get some readings from it and then it stops. When I tried to see if there was a current problem I connected a multimeter in between the 5V (physical pin 2 or 4) and GROUND. For a few seconds this showed 5V and then dropped to 0.15V. The same result happened with ...

Hi, I've run your script and it worked like a charm, momentarily. When I strongly increase or decrease the light intensity or when I attach another device to my Pi on a different 3.3V pin then I get the output of "No TSL-235 found on wiringpi_pin(1)". And it keeps outputting this, even when I detach...
