Hey guys I’m needing some help porting the Arduino library for this INA3221 3 channel I2C voltage and current sensor. It’s basically 3 x INA219 sensors in one package.
The Arduino Library is here: https://github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Arduino_INA3221
Product page is here: http://www.switchdoc.com/ina3221-breakout-board/
I tried deleting the obvious wire.h and other includes but still get compile errors.
Any help is appreciated greatly 
@RWB, we meet again Mr. Bond 
In the code, you will see #if ARDUINO >= 100 sections. You wan to keep the code in those sections, delete the #if and the #else and associated code. The only exception is at the top of the file where you will remove the code and replace with `#include “Particle.h”.
In the example, you can remove besides removing Wire.h, change the < > characters in the other #include to double quotes. After that, give compiling a go! 
@peekay123 Yea buddy! Another Arduino to Particle port completed 
It took me a min and some playing around to decode your instructions but I figured it out and learned a few things in the process which is good.
The code is working and I have tested it so this is good news.
I’ll post the code for this INA3221 3 channel voltage + current sensor incase anybody else ever needs to use it:

This is my first ever project using i2c so please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but would I need to make any changes to this code to make it work with the Electron (vs the photon which you originally wrote it for?). I have it hooked up and running, but doesn’t seem to be successfully communicating with the INA3221.
This is what I see when the INA3221 is powered on and they should be communicating (I plug and unplug peripherals from all of the inputs that I think the INA3221 should be monitoring, but absolutely nothing changes):

I only mention that because I noticed that if I power off the board that the INA3221 is on, it changes and reports like this:

I would test this on a photon if I had one but unfortunately I do not!
Update after further investigation:
I un-commented out the BusVoltage_raw, and ShuntVoltage_raw and now I see when the INA3221 is powered on, they return FFFF always, and when it is powered off they return 0 always. Hoping this sparks an idea for someone who might know what is going on here!
And your using my code from this post?
Yes, besides adding some cell connect logic at the beginning. At this point i’m pretty sure that the hardware supplied is either faulty or was set up incorrectly, I was just trying to rule out me missing some simple firmware bit that may be different between this running on photon vs electron! I am going to go test this on the scope now and figure out what is going on haha!
Do you have pull ups on the I2C lines?
@ColinVT, a picture of your setup would be good. How you connect and power things can make or break your setup.
Yes, 10ks on each!
@peekay123 I would have done that right off the bat but unfortunately this is all on in-house boards (retrofitting an older product with the controller board that we use in the newer products haha!) i will come back and update later or tomorrow once I figure out the issue!
EDIT: I still intend on updating this, however a urgent issue came up elsewhere so this has been sidelined for the moment!
Update:
It was faulty hardware! Built and set up the testing hardware myself and it works perfectly, so I’m going to finish this project up and send it back. If they update me with what the issue was with the previous hardware, I will come back and update here!
