Raspberry Pi Pico I2C pull up

[gray kestrel]

Hello,

I'm using a simple py code trying to run an I2C device connected to my Pico board. I'm working with CircuitPython 7.0.0 and Thonny IDE. The code include the following lines:

'''

sda = board.GP0
scl = board.GP1
i2c = busio.I2C(scl, sda, frequency=100000)

I get a run time error: RuntimeError: No pull up found on SDA or SCL; check your wiring

I'll appreciate any support.

What I2C device are you trying to use ? If it doesn't have pull ups on the data lines, you need to add them for I2C to work. For that it's usual to add 2.2-10kΩ resistors between the 3v3 line and each data line. So in your case between GP0 and 3V and GP1 and 3V.

Thanks.

I was hoping to use the internal pull ups. The external resistors do the work just fine.
