Hi there,
Recently I found this EasyTransfer I2C Library with examples by Bill Porter on the Github (it seems that the project is abandoned).
I tried to use it as described in Githubs page, but without luck.
My issue is that after uploading the example Slave sketch the I2C Scanner will not find that device on the I2C bus.
I'm using Arduino IDE v1.8.2 on daily basis, without any issues.
Master (TX) sketch:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <EasyTransferI2C.h>
//create object
EasyTransferI2C ET;
struct SEND_DATA_STRUCTURE{
//put your variable definitions here for the data you want to send
//THIS MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME ON THE OTHER ARDUINO
int16_t blinks;
int16_t pause;
};
//give a name to the group of data
SEND_DATA_STRUCTURE mydata;
//define slave i2c address
#define I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 9
void setup(){
Wire.begin();
//start the library, pass in the data details and the name of the serial port. Can be Serial, Serial1, Serial2, etc.
ET.begin(details(mydata), &Wire);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
randomSeed(analogRead(0));
}
void loop(){
//this is how you access the variables. [name of the group].[variable name]
mydata.blinks = random(5);
mydata.pause = random(5);
//send the data
ET.sendData(I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS);
//Just for fun, we will blink it out too
for(int i = mydata.blinks; i>0; i--){
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(mydata.pause * 100);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(mydata.pause * 100);
}
delay(5000);
}
Slave (RX) sketch:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <EasyTransferI2C.h>
//create object
EasyTransferI2C ET;
struct RECEIVE_DATA_STRUCTURE{
//put your variable definitions here for the data you want to receive
//THIS MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME ON THE OTHER ARDUINO
int16_t blinks;
int16_t pause;
};
//give a name to the group of data
RECEIVE_DATA_STRUCTURE mydata;
//define slave i2c address
#define I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 9
void setup(){
Wire.begin(I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS);
//start the library, pass in the data details and the name of the serial port. Can be Serial, Serial1, Serial2, etc.
ET.begin(details(mydata), &Wire);
//define handler function on receiving data
Wire.onReceive(receive);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
//check and see if a data packet has come in.
if(ET.receiveData()){
//this is how you access the variables. [name of the group].[variable name]
//since we have data, we will blink it out.
for(int i = mydata.blinks; i>0; i--){
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(mydata.pause * 100);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(mydata.pause * 100);
}
}
}
void receive(int numBytes) {}
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!
