Python code cannot detect my i2c address

Question

I would like to ask some opinions regarding i2c communications with pca9685. My i2c1(SDA=GPIO2, SCL=GPIO3) of my rpi 4b is used by my mpu6050, which I had to enable one more i2c channel of my raspberry pi. So, I enabled it through the figure below:enter image description here

I rebooted my rpi 4b after, then successfully detected the address through i2cdetect. enter image description here

I went through to test the device writing some codes, and the giving me some errors which said "ValueError: No I2C device at address: 0x40"

The strange thing is that when I connect pca9685 through the i2c1(SDA=GPIO2, SCL=GPIO3), it works.

My code was:

 import time
 import board
 import busio
 from adafruit_pca9685 import PCA9685
 from adafruit_motor import servo
 i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
 pca = PCA9685(i2c, address = 0x40) 
 pca.frequency = 50
 servo_m = servo.ContinuousServo(pca.channels[0])
 
 servo_m.throttle = -1
 time.sleep(1)
 servo_m.throttle = 0
 time.sleep(1)
 servo_m.throttle = 1
 time.sleep(1)
 servo_m.throttle = 0
 time.sleep(1)

I will post the specific error for a better visualization. Moreover, I will post the picture regarding the configurations of the pins (Black - GND, Orange = SCL, Green = SDA, Red = Vcc, White = V+). Thanks!

Black - GND, Orange = SCL, Green = SDA, Red = Vcc, White = V+ The followings are the error I got:

• Bobking: @joan dude its the same person, I have written that question without user info which it was hard to edit the question for me. So, I've chose to rewrite my question with pictures.
• joan: I understand that. However this is the same question. You should have supplied the information already requested rather than writing another variation on the question.
• Bobking: I see. I will do so, it will be very much appreciated if you can help! Thanks

Answer 1

The I2C bus requires pull-ups to 3V3 on the SDA and SCL pins.

GPIO 2 (SDA) and GPIO 3 (SCL) have hard-wired 1k8 ohm resistors fitted on the Pi board.

If you use different GPIO for the I2C bus you will need to add external resistors for the required pull-ups.
