Unfortunately I have damaged the GPIO2 of RB4 which is used for I2C communication. At this point I find myself with half home automation unusable. I wanted to ask you (although I fear the answer) if it is possible to activate the I2C connection on other GPIOs.
Throwing the RB4 for a damaged pin is a big waste and if there was a chance to fix it I’d be happy.
There is an alternate i2c bus on GPIO 0 and GPIO 1 - I2C0
As long as you aren’t using an expansion Hat it should be ok to use.
I have no idea if Home Assistant can be configured to use it though.
My hope is that there is some remote chance to activate it. I hope someone will come to my aid. Also confirming the impossibility of using the alternative ports.
Damn!
I tried for days and in many ways to enable a new RPI4 SDA-SCL I2C port (it has 6 of them) to show it in HA. Attempts always in vain. I would like to ask programmers to do an integration, or modify the existing one, to do this. Where should I submit the request officially? I believe this possibility may be useful to others who use the I2C protocol. Thank you
