Qwiic Expansion Board and Sensors

joe

Hey All - I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Qwiic expansion board to work. I have a Omega2+, Power dock, Qwiic Expansion and a few sensors.

Qwiic Expansion : https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15080
Onion Power 2 Dock: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14440
Onion Omega 2+ : https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14431
Qwiic Flex Sensor: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14666
Qwiic Temperature Sensor: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16304

So I open the Onion web interface, install the Sparkfun App and launch it. No sensors show up (following this: https://onion.io/introducing-omega2-qwiic-sensor-kit/) . The Sensor Monitor app appears to respond the flex sensor, fwiw.

The next step was to try to install the Qwiic python module:
pip install sparkfun-qwiic
Which errors out with
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sparkfun-qwiic-ublox-gps (from sparkfun-qwiic) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for sparkfun-qwiic-ublox-gps (from sparkfun-qwiic)

So my next step is i2detect -y 0 which does give some output... but I am not making progress.

root@Omega-94DB:~# i2cdetect -y 0 
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 48 -- -- -- -- 4d -- -- 
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                         
root@Omega-94DB:~# i2cget -y 0 0x48
0x00
root@Omega-94DB:~# i2cget -y 0 0x48 0x00
0x00

If anyone has successfully used the QwiicExp I'd really appreciate the help.

Cheers,
-Joe
