Will i2c support ever be implemented? #22

Will i2c support ever be implemented?

If not, is there a workaround or other library that supports i2c via python with the sparkfun GPS modules?

Ezward commented 2 years ago

Looking for the same thing. I have a nice shiny Sparkfun GPS-RTK2-ZED-F9P SMA. One of the reasons I bought it was that I could use quiic I2C bus. I bought a number of quiic connectors as well. It turns out it was a waste of money unless I can do this in Python. Is there any plan so support I2C?

Agreed; better documentation on how to use this library with I2C would be very helpful.

Has there been any update to this?? I need to use it with I2C and am having a rough time.

edspark commented 1 year ago

Sorry for the long delay - the library is currently being updated. However I can speak towards I2C. From my research, read: googling, I2C on a raspberry pi has still yet to fully fix clock stretching. In addition u-blox modules push clock stretching to its limits; the modules hold the clock line for every single message received, and for not-insignificant amounts of time.

When there is a solid fix, please feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one.
