Hello All, I am trying to initiate a communication link between 2 Arduinos "Mega and Uno", over about 100 meters of Cat6 cable.
After reading various topics on long I2C bus, I used 2 x P82B96 powered by 12V and I'm using this configuration : SCL,GND (Orange, Orange-White) - SDA,GND (Green, Green-White).
I'm using Wire library, The bus is initiated at 50 KHz using Wire.setClock(), and I measured SCL, SDA using Oscilloscope at the master "Mega" before connecting the slave on the other end of the bus everything is okay. also did the same at the slave terminal. After I have connected the slave the bus has stopped.
Then I tried to modify Wire, TWI libraries to get to 500 Hz and disable the internal pull-ups :
void twi_init(void)
{
// initialize state
twi_state = TWI_READY;
twi_sendStop = true; // default value
twi_inRepStart = false;
/*Edit - Remotify
// activate internal pullups for twi.
digitalWrite(SDA, 1);
digitalWrite(SCL, 1);
// initialize twi prescaler and bit rate
cbi(TWSR, TWPS0);
cbi(TWSR, TWPS1);
TWBR = ((F_CPU / TWI_FREQ) - 16) / 2;
/ twi bit rate formula from atmega128 manual pg 204
SCL Frequency = CPU Clock Frequency / (16 + (2 * TWBR))
note: TWBR should be 10 or higher for master mode
It is 72 for a 16mhz Wiring board with 100kHz TWI /
Edit - Remotify*/
digitalWrite(SDA, 0);
digitalWrite(SCL, 0);
cbi(TWSR, TWPS0);
cbi(TWSR, TWPS1);
sbi(TWSR, TWPS0);
TWBR = 63;
// enable twi module, acks, and twi interrupt
TWCR = _BV(TWEN) | _BV(TWIE) | _BV(TWEA);
}
And I noticed that the bus would stop if an illegal error occurred so I modified it too :
ISR(TWI_vect)
{
switch(TW_STATUS){
// All Master
case TW_START: // sent start condition
case TW_REP_START: // sent repeated start condition
// copy device address and r/w bit to output register and ack
TWDR = twi_slarw;
twi_reply(1);
break;
// Master Transmitter
case TW_MT_SLA_ACK: // slave receiver acked address
case TW_MT_DATA_ACK: // slave receiver acked data
// if there is data to send, send it, otherwise stop
if(twi_masterBufferIndex < twi_masterBufferLength){
// copy data to output register and ack
TWDR = twi_masterBuffer[twi_masterBufferIndex++];
twi_reply(1);
}else{
if (twi_sendStop)
twi_stop();
else {
twi_inRepStart = true; // we're gonna send the START
// don't enable the interrupt. We'll generate the start, but we
// avoid handling the interrupt until we're in the next transaction,
// at the point where we would normally issue the start.
TWCR = _BV(TWINT) | _BV(TWSTA)| _BV(TWEN) ;
twi_state = TWI_READY;
}
}
break;
case TW_MT_SLA_NACK: // address sent, nack received
twi_error = TW_MT_SLA_NACK;
twi_stop();
break;
case TW_MT_DATA_NACK: // data sent, nack received
twi_error = TW_MT_DATA_NACK;
twi_stop();
break;
case TW_MT_ARB_LOST: // lost bus arbitration
twi_error = TW_MT_ARB_LOST;
twi_releaseBus();
break;
// Master Receiver
case TW_MR_DATA_ACK: // data received, ack sent
// put byte into buffer
twi_masterBuffer[twi_masterBufferIndex++] = TWDR;
case TW_MR_SLA_ACK: // address sent, ack received
// ack if more bytes are expected, otherwise nack
if(twi_masterBufferIndex < twi_masterBufferLength){
twi_reply(1);
}else{
twi_reply(0);
}
break;
case TW_MR_DATA_NACK: // data received, nack sent
// put final byte into buffer
twi_masterBuffer[twi_masterBufferIndex++] = TWDR;
if (twi_sendStop)
twi_stop();
else {
twi_inRepStart = true; // we're gonna send the START
// don't enable the interrupt. We'll generate the start, but we
// avoid handling the interrupt until we're in the next transaction,

twi_state = TWI_READY;
}
break;

twi_stop();

// enter slave receiver mode
twi_state = TWI_SRX;
// indicate that rx buffer can be overwritten and ack
twi_rxBufferIndex = 0;
twi_reply(1);
break;

twi_onSlaveTransmit();

if(0 == twi_txBufferLength){
twi_txBufferLength = 1;
twi_txBuffer[0] = 0x00;
}
// transmit first byte from buffer, fall
case TW_ST_DATA_ACK: // byte sent, ack returned

}
All of these didn't work too. I will appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
