I'm trying to use a DS3231 RTC and a MCP23017 I2C expander in my project. Individually both libraries work as expected but when I try using both in the same project the sketch hangs on the second call to wire.begin().

The same project works fine on an Arduino Mega.

I'm using MPIDE 20130715. Anyone else come across this problem?

I had similar UNO I2C with RTC and expander, no problems I think you only need one wire.begin() in setup().

Hi Sprigo,

Do you mind to share the DS3231 code with me?

Thank you.

The most common problem is that the two libraries call Wire.begin() in their initialization routines. You will need to edit one of the libraries and remove the Wire.begin() from it. Do it to the one you initialize second ;)
