Danger

sgraves, you totally did it!  Thanks so much for posting this workaround.

It's totally weird that you have to pull something like this to get it to work right, but... after this many hours of trying stuff, I'll take it!

Thanks, again!

Hahaha.  You mean an open source platform has other bugs, too??

I do have a Netduino Mini sitting on my shelf that I was going to tackle once I got my feet wet with this, but... Maybe I need to hook up this barometer to the mini to isolate the problem being with the Netduino 2.  At least then I would know.

NooM, do you have or have you ever used a Netduino 2 or +2 with i2c?  I may end up getting another one, but I don't want to go through this again.  I mean, it does work, right?

So, I put everything back the way it was, only updated the firmware to 4.2.2.2.  It actually behaves the same say.  All values report 0 until I disconnect and then reconnect the SDA pin while it's running.

So my last question still stands, I suppose.  Has anyone ever run into this problem?  Any thoughts on what might cause this?

I'm at a total loss, and almost ready to scrap this Netduino.  

Thanks in advance.

Hahahahahaha.  WTF did I just do??  

Okay.  This sounds worse than it is.  I will try out 4.2.2.2 on my original development machine and report back.

Thanks!

Okay, I have updated to Windows 7, NETMF 4.3, Visual Studio 2012 and the Netduino Firmware 4.3 Beta.  It didn't make a difference by itself, but then I stumbled upon something that makes no sense.  I'm hoping someone can explain this to me.

Using the code that NooM was nice enough to provide, Visual Studio spit out this in the output window upon the Netduino booting up:
