Arduino users have written lots of exciting add-ons for Arduino. Arduino libraries take a complex task and boil it down to simple to use functions. Just be honest, and put a ' you all, WONTFIX' label on it.

You think I'm rude ? After 9 years of giving the finger on this issue to the whole community for absolutely no reason, I couldn't care less.

Yes, I know, this state is not supposed to happen according to the I2C protocol, but guess what ? electrical glitches didn't get the memo.Ĭountless people, after losing hours or days kind of solved the issue either by making a modified version for themselves, or switching to another library, so there are several implementations of a timeout that are simple and would easily solve the issue.īut arduino developpers stubbornly refuse to fix it ! If the fix was difficult, if it compromised compatibility or added other problem, it would be understandable, but it's not the case, all that is caused by those 2 damn lines of code that obviously can create an infinite loop if for some reason the read operation does not complete : // wait for read operation to complete This runs totally contrary of what arduino is supposed to stand for.

Google shows pages after pages of people getting started and who get discouraged by this elusive bug they don't understand. It's been 9 YEARS since that bug was first discussed (2011), countless people pulled their hair trying to understand why their Arduino was freezing, why would it work normally, then suddenly stop, a dozen of times, it's been raised in here, dozens of times people had been told to get lost, use something else, etc.
