Hi Jason: For removing some noises in I2C , try to connect a parallel connection as I indicated in an attached file ( an ORCaD archive ). Please if u succeded to solve that way give me a notice or otherwise I would like to continue proposing another way. Regards, _______________________________ Ismael M.
