I am having problems reading values via I2C from an Arduino nano slave.

Whilst testing I have the I2C slave put out constant values, but what the Pi reads do not agree with those constant values sometimes it read 9 instead of 19 ( 0x13) I put in sleeps of 1 second between register reads which helped but did not resolve the problem
Running the code - note when it reads 9 instead of 19

Code: Select all

python readReg.py
19
20
1234
19

9

The code

Code: Select all

import smbus
import time
bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
address = 25

def write(value):
        bus.write_byte_data(address, 0, value)
        return -1

def read_AN2():
        an2 = bus.read_word_data(address, 2)
        return an2

def read_AN3():
        an3 = bus.read_word_data(address, 3)
        return an3

def read_ID0():
        id = bus.read_byte_data(address, 0)
        return id

def read_ID1():
        id = bus.read_byte_data(address, 1)
        return id

while True:
      print read_ID0()
      time.sleep(1)
      print read_ID1()
      time.sleep(1)
      print format(read_AN2(),'04x')
      time.sleep(1)
