About
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) / TWI (Two-wire Interface) is a widely used serial communication to connect devices in a short distance. This is one of the most common peripherals used to connect sensors, EEPROMs, RTC, ADC, DAC, displays, OLED, and many other devices and microcontrollers.
|
||||
|
||||
This serial communication is considered as a low-speed bus, and multiple devices can be connected on the same two-wires bus, each with a unique 7-bits address (up to 128 devices). These two wires are called SDA (serial data line) and SCL (serial clock line).
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: The SDA and SCL lines require pull-up resistors. See the device datasheet for more details about the resistors' values and the operating voltage.
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Modes
|
||||
*********
|
||||
|
||||
The I2C can be used in two different modes:
|
||||
|
||||
* **I2C Master Mode**
|
||||
* In this mode, the ESP32 generates the clock signal and initiates the communication with the slave device.

|
||||
|
||||
* **I2C Slave Mode**
|
||||
* The slave mode, the clock is generated by the master device and responds to the master if the destination address is the same as the destination.

Arduino-ESP32 I2C API
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP32 I2C library is based on the `Arduino Wire Library`_ and implements a few more APIs, described in this documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Common API
|
||||
**************
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the common functions used for master and slave modes.
|
||||
|
||||
begin
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
This function is used to start the peripheral using the default configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool begin();
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return ``true`` if the peripheral was initialized correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
setPins
|
||||
^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
This function is used to define the ``SDA`` and ``SCL`` pins.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: Call this function before ``begin`` to change the pins from the default ones.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool setPins(int sdaPin, int sclPin);
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sdaPin`` sets the GPIO to be used as the I2C peripheral data line.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sclPin`` sets the GPIO to be used as the I2C peripheral clock line.
|
||||
|
||||
The default pins may vary from board to board. On the *Generic ESP32* the default I2C pins are:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sdaPin`` **GPIO21**
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sclPin`` **GPIO22**
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return ``true`` if the peripheral was configured correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
setClock
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Use this function to set the bus clock. The default value will be used if this function is not used.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool setClock(uint32_t frequency);
|
||||
|
||||
* ``frequency`` sets the bus frequency clock.
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return ``true`` if the clock was configured correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
getClock
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Use this function to get the bus clock.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
uint32_t getClock();
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return the current frequency configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
setTimeOut
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Set the bus timeout given in milliseconds. The default value is 50ms.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
void setTimeOut(uint16_t timeOutMillis);
|
||||
|
||||
* ``timeOutMillis`` sets the timeout in ms.
|
||||
|
||||
getTimeOut
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Get the bus timeout in milliseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
uint16_t getTimeOut();
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return the current timeout configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _i2c write:
|
||||
|
||||
write
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
This function writes data to the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
size_t write(uint8_t);
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
size_t write(const uint8_t *, size_t);
|
||||
|
||||
The return will be the size of the data added to the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _i2c end:
|
||||
|
||||
end
|
||||
^^^
|
||||
|
||||
This function will finish the communication and release all the allocated resources. After calling ``end`` you need to use ``begin`` again in order to initialize the I2C driver again.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool end();
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Master Mode
|
||||
***************
|
||||
|
||||
This mode is used to initiate communication to the slave.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic Usage
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To start using I2C master mode on the Arduino, the first step is to include the ``Wire.h`` header to the sketch.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
#include "Wire.h"
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we can start the peripheral configuration by calling ``begin`` function.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.begin();
|
||||
|
||||
By using ``begin`` without any arguments, all the settings will be done by using the default values. To set the values by your own, see the function description. This function is described here: `i2c begin`_
|
||||
|
||||
After calling ``begin``, we can start the transmission by calling ``beginTransmission`` and passing the I2C slave address:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.beginTransmission(I2C_DEV_ADDR);
|
||||
|
||||
To write some bytes to the slave, use the ``write`` function.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.write(x);
|
||||
|
||||
You can pass different data types using ``write`` function. This function is described here: `i2c write`_
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: The ``write`` function does not write directly to the slave device but adds to the I2C buffer. To do so, you need to use the ``endTransmission`` function to send the buffered bytes to the slave device.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.endTransmission(true);
|
||||
|
||||
After calling ``endTransmission``, the data stored in the I2C buffer will be transmitted to the slave device.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can request a reading from the slave device. The ``requestFrom`` will ask for a readout to the selected device by giving the address and the size.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.requestFrom(I2C_DEV_ADDR, SIZE);
|
||||
|
||||
and the ``readBytes`` will read it.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.readBytes(temp, error);
|
||||
|
||||
.. _i2c begin:
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Master APIs
|
||||
***************
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the I2C master APIs. These function are intended to be used only for master mode.
|
||||
|
||||
begin
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In master mode, the ``begin`` function can be used by passing the **pins** and **bus frequency**. Use this function only for the master mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool begin(int sdaPin, int sclPin, uint32_t frequency)
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use the ``begin`` function without any argument to use all default values.
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return ``true`` if the peripheral was initialized correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
beginTransmission
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
This function is used to star a communication process with the slave device. Call this function by passing the slave ``address`` before writing the message to the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
void beginTransmission(uint16_t address)
|
||||
|
||||
endTransmission
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
After writing to the buffer using `i2c write`_, use the function ``endTransmission`` to send the message to the slave device address defined on the ``beginTransmission`` function.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
uint8_t endTransmission(bool sendStop);
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sendStop`` enables **(true)** or disables **(false)** the stop signal *(only used in master mode)*.
|
||||
|
||||
Calling the this function without ``sendStop`` is equivalent to ``sendStop = true``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
uint8_t endTransmission(void);
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return the error code.
|
||||
|
||||
requestFrom
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To read from the slave device, use the ``requestFrom`` function.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
uint8_t requestFrom(uint16_t address, uint8_t size, bool sendStop)
|
||||
|
||||
* ``address`` set the device address.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``size`` define the size to be requested.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``sendStop`` enables (true) or disables (false) the stop signal.
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return the number of bytes read from the device.
|
||||
|
||||
Example Application - WireMaster.ino
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of how to use the I2C in Master Mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. literalinclude:: ../../../libraries/Wire/examples/WireMaster/WireMaster.ino
|
||||
:language: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Slave Mode
|
||||
**************
|
||||
|
||||
This mode is used to accept communication from the master.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic Usage
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To start using I2C as slave mode on the Arduino, the first step is to include the ``Wire.h`` header to the scketch.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
#include "Wire.h"
|
||||
|
||||
Before calling ``begin`` we must create two callback functions to handle the communication with the master device.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.onReceive(onReceive);
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.onRequest(onRequest);
|
||||
|
||||
The ``onReceive`` will handle the request from the master device uppon a slave read request and the ``onRequest`` will handle the answer to the master.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we can start the peripheral configuration by calling ``begin`` function with the device address.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.begin((uint8_t)I2C_DEV_ADDR);
|
||||
|
||||
By using ``begin`` without any arguments, all the settings will be done by using the default values. To set the values by your own, see the function description. This function is described here: `i2c begin`_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**For ESP32 only!**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the function ``slaveWrite`` in order to pre-write to the slave response buffer. This is used only for the ESP32 in order to add the slave capability on the chip and keep compatability with Arduino.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
Wire.slaveWrite((uint8_t *)message, strlen(message));
|
||||
|
||||
I2C Slave APIs
|
||||
**************
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the I2C slave APIs. These function are intended to be used only for slave mode.
|
||||
|
||||
begin
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In slave mode, the ``begin`` function must be used by passing the **slave address**. You can also define the **pins** and the **bus frequency**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
bool Wire.begin(uint8_t addr, int sdaPin, int sclPin, uint32_t frequency)
|
||||
|
||||
This function will return ``true`` if the peripheral was initialized correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
onReceive
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The ``onReceive`` function is used to define the callback for the data received from the master.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
void onReceive( void (*)(int) );
|
||||
|
||||
onRequest
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The ``onRequest`` function is used to define the callback for the data to be send to the master.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
void onRequest( void (*)(void) );
|
||||
|
||||
slaveWrite
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The ``slaveWrite`` function writes on the slave response buffer before receiving the response message. This function is only used for adding the slave compatability for the ESP32.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: This function is only required for the ESP32. You **don't** need to use for ESP32-S2 and ESP32-C3.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: arduino
|
||||
|
||||
size_t slaveWrite(const uint8_t *, size_t);
|
||||
|
