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.
|
|
|
|
.. only:: port_wipy
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
from machine import I2C
|
|
|
|
i2c = I2C(0) # create on bus 0
|
|
i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER) # create and init as a master
|
|
i2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=20000) # init as a master
|
|
i2c.deinit() # turn off the peripheral
|
|
|
|
Printing the i2c object gives you information about its configuration.
|
|
|
|
.. only:: port_wipy
|
|
|
|
A master must specify the recipient's address::
|
|
|
|
i2c.init(I2C.MASTER)
|
|
i2c.writeto(0x42, '123') # send 3 bytes to slave with address 0x42
|
|
i2c.writeto(addr=0x42, b'456') # keyword for address
|
|
|
|
Master also has other methods::
|
|
|
|
i2c.scan() # scan for slaves on the bus, returning
|
|
# a list of valid addresses
|
|
i2c.readfrom_mem(0x42, 2, 3) # read 3 bytes from memory of slave 0x42,
|
|
# starting at address 2 in the slave
|
|
i2c.writeto_mem(0x42, 2, 'abc') # write 'abc' (3 bytes) to memory of slave 0x42
|
|
# starting at address 2 in the slave, timeout after 1 second
|

Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. only:: port_wipy
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Construct an I2C object on the given bus. `bus` can only be 0.
|
|
If the bus is not given, the default one will be selected (0).
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. class:: machine.I2C(scl, sda, \*, freq=400000)
|
|
|
|
Construct and return a new I2C object.
|
|
See the init method below for a description of the arguments.
|
|
|
|
General Methods
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
.. only:: port_wipy
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.init(mode, \*, baudrate=100000, pins=(SDA, SCL))
|
|
|
|
Initialise the I2C bus with the given parameters:
|
|
|
|
- ``mode`` must be ``I2C.MASTER``
|
|
- ``baudrate`` is the SCL clock rate
|
|
- ``pins`` is an optional tuple with the pins to assign to the I2C bus.
|
|
|
|
.. only:: port_esp8266
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.init(scl, sda, \*, freq=400000)
|
|
|
|
Initialise the I2C bus with the given arguments:
|
|
|
|
- `scl` is a pin object for the SCL line
|
|
- `sda` is a pin object for the SDA line
|
|
- `freq` is the SCL clock rate
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.deinit()
|
|
|
|
Turn off the I2C bus.
|
|
|
|
Availability: WiPy.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.scan()
|
|
|
|
Scan all I2C addresses between 0x08 and 0x77 inclusive and return a list of
|
|
those that respond. A device responds if it pulls the SDA line low after
|
|
its address (including a read bit) is sent on the bus.
|
|
|
|
Note: on WiPy the I2C object must be in master mode for this method to be valid.
|
|
|
|
Primitive I2C operations
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following methods implement the primitive I2C master bus operations and can
|
|
be combined to make any I2C transaction. They are provided if you need more
|
|
control over the bus, otherwise the standard methods (see below) can be used.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.start()
|
|
|
|
Send a start bit on the bus (SDA transitions to low while SCL is high).
|
|
|
|
Availability: ESP8266.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.stop()
|
|
|
|
Send a stop bit on the bus (SDA transitions to high while SCL is high).
|
|
|
|
Availability: ESP8266.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.readinto(buf)
|
|
|
|
Reads bytes from the bus and stores them into `buf`. The number of bytes
|
|
read is the length of `buf`. An ACK will be sent on the bus after
|
|
receiving all but the last byte, and a NACK will be sent following the last
|
|
byte.
|
|
|
|
Availability: ESP8266.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.write(buf)
|
|
|
|
Write all the bytes from `buf` to the bus. Checks that an ACK is received
|
|
after each byte and raises an OSError if not.
|
|
|
|
Availability: ESP8266.
|
|
|
|
Standard bus operations
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The following methods implement the standard I2C master read and write
|
|
operations that target a given slave device.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.readfrom(addr, nbytes)
|
|
|
|
Read `nbytes` from the slave specified by `addr`.
|
|
Returns a `bytes` object with the data read.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.readfrom_into(addr, buf)
|
|
|
|
Read into `buf` from the slave specified by `addr`.
|
|
The number of bytes read will be the length of `buf`.
|
|
|
|
On WiPy the return value is the number of bytes read. Otherwise the
|
|
return value is `None`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.writeto(addr, buf, \*, stop=True)
|
|
|
|
Write the bytes from `buf` to the slave specified by `addr`.
|
|
|
|
The `stop` argument (only available on WiPy) tells if a stop bit should be
|
|
sent at the end of the transfer. If `False` the transfer should be
|
|
continued later on.
|
|
|
|
On WiPy the return value is the number of bytes written. Otherwise the
|
|
return value is `None`.
|
|
|
|
Memory operations
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Some I2C devices act as a memory device (or set of registers) that can be read
|
|
from and written to. In this case there are two addresses associated with an
|
|
I2C transaction: the slave address and the memory address. The following
|
|
methods are convenience functions to communicate with such devices.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.readfrom_mem(addr, memaddr, nbytes, \*, addrsize=8)
|
|
|
|
Read `nbytes` from the slave specified by `addr` starting from the memory
|
|
address specified by `memaddr`.
|
|
The argument `addrsize` specifies the address size in bits (on ESP8266
|
|
this argument is not recognised and the address size is always 8 bits).
|
|
Returns a `bytes` object with the data read.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.readfrom_mem_into(addr, memaddr, buf, \*, addrsize=8)
|
|
|
|
Read into `buf` from the slave specified by `addr` starting from the
|
|
memory address specified by `memaddr`. The number of bytes read is the
|
|
length of `buf`.
|
|
The argument `addrsize` specifies the address size in bits (on ESP8266
|
|
this argument is not recognised and the address size is always 8 bits).
|
|
|
|
On WiPy the return value is the number of bytes read. Otherwise the
|
|
return value is `None`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: i2c.writeto_mem(addr, memaddr, buf, \*, addrsize=8)
|
|
|
|
Write `buf` to the slave specified by `addr` starting from the
|
|
memory address specified by `memaddr`.
|
|
The argument `addrsize` specifies the address size in bits (on ESP8266
|
|
this argument is not recognised and the address size is always 8 bits).
|
|
|
|
On WiPy the return value is the number of bytes written. Otherwise the
|
|
return value is `None`.
