sorry, strike this. found this Tutorial: Arduino and the I2C bus – Part Two | tronixstuff.com covers the whole chip lol. good day all.
Would someone be kind enough to take a gander and let me know if this is a good fit with the UNO, as i have a few laying around, or if using these im in for a bumpy road. id like to use this on the bus with an 24lc256.
specifically,
After the start condition, the device address byte is sent,
most-significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W). This device does not respond to the general
call address. After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge, a low on the SDA
I/O during the high of the acknowledge-related clock pulse. The address inputs (A0–A2) of the slave device must
not be changed between the start and the stop conditions.
The data byte follows the address acknowledge. If the R/W bit is high, the data from this device are the values
read from the P port. If the R/W bit is low, the data are from the master, to be output to the P port. The data byte
is followed by an acknowledge sent from this device. If other data bytes are sent from the master, following the
acknowledge, they are ignored by this device. Data are output only if complete bytes are received and
acknowledged. The output data will be valid at time, t
pv, after the low-to-high transition of SCL and during the
clock cycle for the acknowledge.
A stop condition, which is a low-to-high transition on the SDA I/O while the SCL input is high, is sent by the
master.
