Detailed Description

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

Example: 

 // Simple I2C responder
 #include <mbed.h>

 I2CSlave slave(p9, p10);

 int main() {
     char buf[10];
     char msg[] = "Slave!";

     slave.address(0xA0);
     while (1) {
         int i = slave.receive();
         switch (i) {
             case I2CSlave::ReadAddressed:
                 slave.write(msg, strlen(msg) + 1); // Includes null char
                 break;
             case I2CSlave::WriteGeneral:
                 slave.read(buf, 10);
                 printf("Read G: %s\n", buf);
                 break;
             case I2CSlave::WriteAddressed:
                 slave.read(buf, 10);
                 printf("Read A: %s\n", buf);
                 break;
         }
         for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) buf[i] = 0;    // Clear buffer
     }
 }

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

Member Function Documentation

void address ( int  address )

Sets the I2C slave address.

Parameters:
addressThe address to set for the slave (ignoring the least signifcant bit). If 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 ( void   )

Read a single byte from an I2C master.

Returns:
the byte read
int read ( char *  data,
int  length 
)

Read from an I2C master.

Parameters:
datapointer to the byte array to read data in to
lengthmaximum number of bytes to read
Returns:
0 on success, non-0 otherwise
int receive ( void   )

Checks to see if this I2C Slave has been addressed.

Returns:
A status indicating if the device has been addressed, and how
  • NoData - the slave has not been addressed
  • ReadAddressed - the master has requested a read from this slave
  • WriteAddressed - the master is writing to this slave
  • WriteGeneral - the master is writing to all slave
void stop ( void   )

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

int write ( int  data )

Write a single byte to an I2C master.

the byte to write

Returns:
'1' if an ACK was received, '0' otherwise
int write ( const char *  data,
int  length 
)

Write to an I2C master.

Parameters:
datapointer to the byte array to be transmitted
lengththe number of bytes to transmite
Returns:
0 on success, non-0 otherwise
