MPL115A2 failure

Post by kkkkkbruce »

Hi, I was just wondering if there was any hope for my MPL115A2 breakout circuit? I had it continually gathering data via a RaspberryPi and it was working fine, and then all of the sudden it was just gone. It had been running almost two weeks with out any problems. After it disappeared, I tried i2cdetect, but it also could no longer find it. I had had it outside at the end of about 10 ft of a phone line cable (nicely had 4 wires). When I brought it in and plugged it directly into the breadboard, still no luck. I plugged another i2c board in and detected it was just fine. When I tried to plug the MPL115A2 in with the other i2c device I noticed it pulling enough voltage that it dimmed the LED on the other working device.

Is there anything I can/should check before tossing it into the circular file?

Thanks for any help or ideas you can send my way.

Can you post some clear, detailed pictures of both sides of your breakout board?
