Detailed Description

An I2C Slave, used for communicating with an I2C Master device.

Note
Synchronization level: Not protected

Example Simple I2C responder:

#include <mbed.h>
const int SLAVE_ADDRESS = 0xA0;
const char message[] = "Slave!";
I2CSlave slave(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL);
int main() {
slave.address(SLAVE_ADDRESS);
while (1) {
int operation = slave.receive();
switch (operation) {
case I2CSlave::ReadAddressed:
int status = slave.write(message, sizeof(message));
if (status == 0) {
printf("Written message: %s\n", message);
} else {
printf("Failed to write message.\n");
}
break;
case I2CSlave::WriteGeneral:
int byte_read = slave.read();
printf("Read General: %c (%d)\n", byte_read, byte_read);
break;
case I2CSlave::WriteAddressed:
int byte_read = slave.read();
printf("Read Addressed: %c (%d)\n", byte_read, byte_read);
break;
}
}
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

I2CSlave ( PinName  sda,
PinName  scl 
)

Create an I2C Slave interface, connected to the specified pins.

Parameters
sdaI2C data line pin.
sclI2C clock line pin.
I2CSlave ( const i2c_pinmap_t static_pinmap)

Create an I2C Slave interface, connected to the specified pins.

Parameters
static_pinmapreference to structure which holds static pinmap.

Member Function Documentation

void address ( int  address)

Set the I2C slave address.

Parameters
addressThe address to set for the slave (least significant bit is ignored).
Note
If address is set to 0, the slave will only respond to the general call address.
void frequency ( int  hz)

Set the frequency of the I2C interface.

Parameters
hzThe bus frequency in Hertz.
int read ( char *  data,
int  length 
)

Read specified number of bytes from an I2C master.

Parameters
dataPointer to the buffer to read data into.
lengthNumber of bytes to read.
Returns
Result of the operation.
Return values
0If the number of bytes read is equal to length requested.
nonzeroOn error or if the number of bytes read is less than requested.
int read ( void  )

Read a single byte from an I2C master.

Returns
The byte read.
int receive ( void  )

Check if this I2C Slave has been addressed.

Returns
A status indicating if the device has been addressed and how.
Return values
NoDataThe slave has not been addressed.
ReadAddressedThe master has requested a read from this slave.
WriteAddressedThe master is writing to this slave.
WriteGeneralThe master is writing to all slave.
void stop ( void  )

Reset the I2C slave back into the known ready receiving state.

int write ( const char *  data,
int  length 
)

Write to an I2C master.

Parameters
dataPointer to the buffer containing the data to be sent.
lengthNumber of bytes to send.
Returns
Return values
0If written all bytes successfully.
nonzeroOn error or if the number of bytes written is less than requested.
int write ( int  data)

Write a single byte to an I2C master.

Parameters
dataValue to write.
Returns
Result of the operation.
Return values
0If a NACK is received.
1If an ACK is received.
2On timeout.
