[Resolved]- Particle can't read MPL3115A2 and Anemometer at same time

Troubleshooting
1

I’m working on a weather station, but every time I have the MPL3115A2 powered, my anemometer won’t output a value. Here’s the code:

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include "spark-dallas-temperature/spark-dallas-temperature.h"

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include "OneWire/OneWire.h"

  SparkFun Photon Weather Shield basic example with soil moisture and temp
  and weather meter readings including wind speed, wind direction and rain.
  Joel Bartlett @ SparkFun Electronics
  Original Creation Date: May 18, 2015
  Based on the Wimp Weather Station sketch by: Nathan Seidle
  https://github.com/sparkfun/Wimp_Weather_Station
  This sketch prints the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude,
  soil moisture, and soil temperature to the Seril port. This sketch also
  incorporates the Weather Meters avaialbe from SparkFun (SEN-08942), which allow
  you to measure Wind Speed, Wind Direction, and Rainfall. Upload this sketch
  after attaching a soil moisture and or soil temperature sensor and Wetaher
  Meters to test your connections.
  Hardware Connections:
	This sketch was written specifically for the Photon Weather Shield,
	which connects the HTU21D and MPL3115A2 to the I2C bus by default.
  If you have an HTU21D and/or an MPL3115A2 breakout,	use the following
  hardware setup:
      HTU21D ------------- Photon
      (-) ------------------- GND
      (+) ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)
       CL ------------------- D1/SCL
       DA ------------------- D0/SDA
    MPL3115A2 ------------- Photon
      GND ------------------- GND
      VCC ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)
      SCL ------------------ D1/SCL
      SDA ------------------ D0/SDA
    Soil Moisture Sensor ----- Photon
        GND ------------------- GND
        VCC ------------------- D5
        SIG ------------------- A1
    DS18B20 Temp Sensor ------ Photon
        VCC (Red) ------------- 3.3V (VCC)
        GND (Black) ----------- GND
        SIG (White) ----------- D4

I think it is a software problem because I had the particle print windspeedmph every time getwindspeed is run and it still outputs a reading, but reportInfo always reads at zero:

Hi Hans,

Can you possibly reduce your firmware to the smallest example that still reproduces the problem? As it stands the firmware you posted is simply too detailed and complicated to debug on the forums.

Happy Holidays!

I think I managed to figure it out. Thanks for the help!

Can you also post the solution you came up with, for the benefit of the community?

I would call it more of a workaround than a solution. I assume there was some conflict in the variable with wind gust calculations and averages. I don’t know much about coding and such, since learned it by doing this project, but this code is working to get temperature, pressure, speed, and direction.

By cutting out the “if” statements concerning wind gust and speed/ direction averages, while editing a few other variables, I managed to circumvent the problem. I’ll try to remember to post a github link to a full working code once I’m finished.
