Hi,
i would like to add a little clarification to the parameter "data" of i2c.mem_read(): I misunderstood
``data`` can be an integer or a buffer to read into
as "i can give a integer variable to read a integer into" . This pull-request adds the following clarification:
``data`` can be an integer (number of bytes to read) or a buffer to read into
Thanks for your great work!
Best wishes,
Matthias

class I2C -- a two-wire serial protocol
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
I2C is a two-wire protocol for communicating between devices. At the physical
|
|
level it consists of 2 wires: SCL and SDA, the clock and data lines respectively.
|
|
|
|
I2C objects are created attached to a specific bus. They can be initialised
|
|
when created, or initialised later on::
|
|
|
|
from pyb import I2C
|
|
|
|
i2c = I2C(1) # create on bus 1
|
|
i2c = I2C(1, I2C.MASTER) # create and init as a master
|
|
i2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=20000) # init as a master
|
|
i2c.init(I2C.SLAVE, addr=0x42) # init as a slave with given address
|
|
i2c.deinit() # turn off the peripheral
|
|
|
|
Printing the i2c object gives you information about its configuration.
|
|
|
|
Basic methods for slave are send and recv::
|
|
|
|
i2c.send('abc') # send 3 bytes
|
|
i2c.send(0x42) # send a single byte, given by the number
|
|
data = i2c.recv(3) # receive 3 bytes
|
|
|
|
To receive inplace, first create a bytearray::
|
|
|
|
data = bytearray(3) # create a buffer
|
|
i2c.recv(data) # receive 3 bytes, writing them into data
|
|
|
|
You can specify a timeout (in ms)::
|
|
|
|
i2c.send(b'123', timeout=2000) # timout after 2 seconds
|
|
|
|
A master must specify the recipient's address::
|
|
|
|
i2c.init(I2C.MASTER)
|
|
i2c.send('123', 0x42) # send 3 bytes to slave with address 0x42
|
|
i2c.send(b'456', addr=0x42) # keyword for address
|
|
|
|
Master also has other methods::
|
|
|
|
i2c.is_ready(0x42) # check if slave 0x42 is ready
|
|
i2c.scan() # scan for slaves on the bus, returning
|
|
# a list of valid addresses
|
|
i2c.mem_read(3, 0x42, 2) # read 3 bytes from memory of slave 0x42,
|
|
# starting at address 2 in the slave
|
|
i2c.mem_write('abc', 0x42, 2, timeout=1000)
|
|
|

Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: pyb.I2C(bus, ...)
|
|
|
|
Construct an I2C object on the given bus. ``bus`` can be 1 or 2.
|
|
With no additional parameters, the I2C object is created but not
|
|
initialised (it has the settings from the last initialisation of
|
|
the bus, if any). If extra arguments are given, the bus is initialised.
|
|
See ``init`` for parameters of initialisation.
|
|
|
|
The physical pins of the I2C busses are:
|
|
|
|
- ``I2C(1)`` is on the X position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (X9, X10) = (PB6, PB7)``
|
|
- ``I2C(2)`` is on the Y position: ``(SCL, SDA) = (Y9, Y10) = (PB10, PB11)``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.deinit()
|
|
|
|
Turn off the I2C bus.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.init(mode, \*, addr=0x12, baudrate=400000, gencall=False)
|
|
|
|
Initialise the I2C bus with the given parameters:
|
|
|
|
- ``mode`` must be either ``I2C.MASTER`` or ``I2C.SLAVE``
|
|
- ``addr`` is the 7-bit address (only sensible for a slave)
|
|
- ``baudrate`` is the SCL clock rate (only sensible for a master)
|
|
- ``gencall`` is whether to support general call mode
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.is_ready(addr)
|
|
|
|
Check if an I2C device responds to the given address. Only valid when in master mode.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.mem_read(data, addr, memaddr, timeout=5000, addr_size=8)
|
|
|
|
Read from the memory of an I2C device:
|
|
|
|
- ``data`` can be an integer (number of bytes to read) or a buffer to read into
|
|
- ``addr`` is the I2C device address
|
|
- ``memaddr`` is the memory location within the I2C device
|
|
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the read
|
|
- ``addr_size`` selects width of memaddr: 8 or 16 bits
|
|
|
|
Returns the read data.
|
|
This is only valid in master mode.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.mem_write(data, addr, memaddr, timeout=5000, addr_size=8)
|
|
|
|
Write to the memory of an I2C device:
|
|
|
|
- ``data`` can be an integer or a buffer to write from
|
|
- ``addr`` is the I2C device address
|
|
- ``memaddr`` is the memory location within the I2C device
|
|
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the write
|
|
- ``addr_size`` selects width of memaddr: 8 or 16 bits
|
|
|
|
Returns ``None``.
|
|
This is only valid in master mode.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.recv(recv, addr=0x00, timeout=5000)
|
|
|
|
Receive data on the bus:
|
|
|
|
- ``recv`` can be an integer, which is the number of bytes to receive,
|
|
or a mutable buffer, which will be filled with received bytes
|
|
- ``addr`` is the address to receive from (only required in master mode)
|
|
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the receive
|
|
|
|
Return value: if ``recv`` is an integer then a new buffer of the bytes received,
|
|
otherwise the same buffer that was passed in to ``recv``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.scan()
|
|
|
|
Scan all I2C addresses from 0x01 to 0x7f and return a list of those that respond.
|
|
Only valid when in master mode.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.send(send, addr=0x00, timeout=5000)
|
|
|
|
Send data on the bus:
|
|
|
|
- ``send`` is the data to send (an integer to send, or a buffer object)
|
|
- ``addr`` is the address to send to (only required in master mode)
|
|
- ``timeout`` is the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the send
|
|
|
|
Return value: ``None``.
