Problems with I2C connection on ESP8266 - 12F, which pins should I use? Previously I had pined the temp/hum sensor HDC1080 with an Arduino using this sketch and everything worked fine. Now I want to run it over an ESP-12F, I uploaded it but it has issues at the time of establishing I2C connection. Basically, I'm not sure if at the end of setup() the I2C connection has actually begun, because I get this at the serial monitor:



As far as I see, the code skips everything related to Wire library. I blame it on the SDA/SCL pins, but actually none of the pins are working for me. I found that default I2C GPIO's are 2 and 14, I tried with them and got no result; later I tried with 12/16, as the commented Wire.begin line says, but it was the same. I even read some possible solutions in this post but I not even have the mentioned libraries. 

Could you give me any suggestion, please? This is the sketch I'm using:

#include &lt;Wire.h&gt;

#define HDC 0x40 //B1000000 MSB
#define cociente 65536 //2^16

uint16_t humrawvalue;  //Raw data value, MS byte = valmsb, LS byte = vallsb
uint16_t temrawvalue;  //Raw data value, MS byte = valmsb, LS byte = vallsb
uint8_t humvalmsb, humvallsb;  //Raw 8-bit byte of humidity
uint8_t temvalmsb, temvallsb;  //Raw 8-bit byte of temperature
int incomingByte = 0; //Action input
float humidity, temperature;

void setup() {
  delay(100);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(100);
  Serial.println("Hello");
  //Wire.begin(12,16);
  Wire.begin();
  Wire.setClockStretchLimit(1500);
}

void loop() {
  if (Serial.available() &gt; 0) {    //User presses 1 to start sensor reading
    // read the incoming byte:
    incomingByte = Serial.read();
    yield();
    // say what you got:
    Serial.print("I received: ");
    Serial.println(incomingByte, DEC);
  }

  Serial.println("---g-");  //Just guideline

  if (incomingByte == 49){
    Serial.println("IIIII");  //Just guideline
    Wire.beginTransmission(HDC);
    Wire.write(0x00);
    Wire.endTransmission(true);
    delay(200);

    Wire.requestFrom(HDC,4,true); //It asks for 4 bytes, 2 bytes per register
    if(Wire.available()){
      Serial.println("     ");
      Serial.println("Measuring: ");
      temvalmsb = Wire.read();
      temvallsb = Wire.read();
      humvalmsb = Wire.read();
      humvallsb = Wire.read();

      Serial.println("====TEMPERATURE====");
      Serial.print("MSB: "); Serial.println(temvalmsb, BIN);
      Serial.print("LSB: "); Serial.println(temvallsb, BIN);
      temrawvalue = temvalmsb &lt;&lt;8| temvallsb; //Locates each byte in its proper place
      Serial.print("Temp: "); Serial.println(temrawvalue, BIN);
      temperature = ((float)temrawvalue/(float)cociente)*165.0-40.0;
      Serial.print("Temperatura [C]: "); Serial.println(temperature);

      Serial.println("====HUMIDITY====");
      Serial.print("MSB: "); Serial.println(humvalmsb, BIN);
      Serial.print("LSB: "); Serial.println(humvallsb, BIN);
      humrawvalue = humvalmsb &lt;&lt;8| humvallsb;
      Serial.print("Hum: "); Serial.println(humrawvalue, BIN);
      humidity = ((float)humrawvalue/(float)cociente)*100.0;
      Serial.print("Humidity [%]: "); Serial.println(humidity);

      Serial.println("     ");
      delay(3000);
    }
  }
  Serial.println("++++"); //Just guideline
  delay(3000);
}


Regards!
Unlike most Arduinos, the ESP8266 doesn't have a hardware TWI, so I²C is bit-banged in software. This means that you can use any GPIO pins. By default, Wire.begin() initializes pins 4 (SDA) and 5 (SCL), but you can specify other pins using Wire.begin(int sda, int scl).

Documentation

(Note: the datasheet specifies GPIO2 as SDA and GPIO14 as SCL, but that doesn't matter, AFAIK, it's just a convention.)
