using modem on one core, and another I2C device on another

[Bfreak]

Hi. I am trying to run an MQTT script on one core, and read data from another i2c device on the other core, using freertos to do so.

When I try to do this, I get 'failed to initialize power' from the modem.

The MQTT tasks has default code:

void MQTT_task_setup(void *pvParameters) {

    Serial.begin(115200);

    //Start while waiting for Serial monitoring
    while (!Serial);

    vTaskDelay(3000);

    Serial.println();

    if (!PMU.begin(Wire, AXP2101_SLAVE_ADDRESS, I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL)) {
        Serial.println("Failed to initialize power.....");
        while (1) {
            vTaskDelay(5000);
        }
    }

and the other i2c has code

void hall_task_setup(void *Parameter) {
  Serial.println("Starting Hall_get setup");

  Wire.begin(13, 21); 

  if (! sensor.begin_I2C()) {    
  //if (! sensor.begin_SPI(MLX90393_CS)) {  // hardware SPI mode
    Serial.println("No sensor found ... check your wiring?");
    while (1) { vTaskDelay(10); }
  }
  Serial.println("Found a MLX90393 sensor");

Both can run independantly using freertos. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is only one Wire. You initialized it twice. Of course it cannot run. You need to change one to Wire1.

According to the question you raised, #65, you directly pass the PMU initialization to Wire1, so that your sensors will not conflict

thanks @lewisxhe but I have a new problem: I currently can only upload script when I connect via usb holding boot button , but get nothing in terminal. When I try and connect without boot I get either *** [upload] Error 1 or error 13: could not open port when I try and open any connection. Any suggestion?
