how to take int value from I2c communicaton

Projects General Guidance
1

i want to communicate between two arduinos i.e. arduino mega & nano. the mega is master and nano is slave. i need to send integer value from arduino mega to arduino nano via I2C communication (wire.h).
i am sending 300 & 400 values & i am getting 144 & 44 instead of 300 & 400. how can i achive this! please help me.

slave.ino (524 Bytes)

master.ino (283 Bytes)

Please read How to use this forum - please read. - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum, specifically point#7 about posting code; your code is small enough and you will reach a bigger audience that can advice. Cell phone users usually can't read ino attachments.

1. Note the changes/comments that I have made/added in the Master Codes

#include<Wire.h>

void setup()
{

  Wire.begin();//;
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  int a = 300;   //0x012C
  int b = 400; //0x0190
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x40);  //slaveAddress
  Wire.write(highByte(a)); //I2C is byte oriented; write(a);
  Wire.write(lowByte(a));
  Wire.write(highByte(b)); //I2C is byte oriented; write(a);
  Wire.write(lowByte(b));
  Wire.endTransmission();
  //delay(1000);

  //int b = 400;   //
  //Wire.beginTransmission(0x40);
  //Wire.write(b);
  //Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(1000);
}

2. Note the changes/comments that I have made/added in the Slave Codes

#include<Wire.h>
#define led 13

volatile byte x1, x2, x3, x4;
volatile int y1, y2;
bool flag1 = false;

void setup()
{
  Wire.begin(0x40);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Wire.onReceive(receiveEvent);
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(led, LOW);

}

void loop()
{
  if (flag1 == true)
  {
    Serial.print("Recived a: ");
    Serial.println(y1, DEC);        //Serial Monitor shows: 300
    //-------------------------
    Serial.print("Recived b: ");
    Serial.println(y2, DEC);
    //-------------------------
    flag1 = false;   //reday for next cycle
  }
}

void receiveEvent(int howMany)
{
  x1 = Wire.read();  //x1 hilds upper byte of received a
  x2 = Wire.read();  //x2 holds lower byte of received a
  y1 = (int)x1 << 8 | (int)x2;
  //------------------------
  x3 = Wire.read();  //x1 hilds upper byte of received b
  x4 = Wire.read();  //x2 holds lower byte of received b
  y2 = (int)x3 << 8 | (int)x4;
  //---------------------------
  flag1 = true; //to indicate recevieEvent() handler is visited; do all print in loop()
}
/*
  hile (Wire.available())
  {
    Serial.print("Data received ");
    int R = Wire.read();
    Serial.println(R);
    Serial.println();
    if (R == 300)
    {
      digitalWrite(13, LOW);
      delay(1000);
    }
    else if (R == 400)
    {
      digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
      delay(1000);
    }
  }
  }

3. Upload the sketch in both Master and Slave. Please, report the results.
