We have two Arduinos in our I2C network, so we have two sets of sketches. We don’t need pull-up resistors on the SDA and SCL lines, because they’re built into the Arduino’s I2C pins already.
In the Arduino Uno R3 version, there is another set of I2C pins near the USB socket: Pin A4 is the SDA pin, and pin A5 is the SCL pin. The Arduino has dedicated pins for I2C, which have built-in pull-up resistors as required by the I2C protocol.įor Arduino Uno boards, these are pins A4 and A5. This project will read the position of a potentiometer connected to a master Arduino, send the information over I2C, and change the blink rate of the LED on the slave Arduino. To demonstrate how to use I2C on the Arduino, let’s build a project that sends data back and forth between two Arduinos. To learn more about the details of I2C communication, check out our article on the Basics of the I2C Communication Protocol. The device’s datasheet should tell you it’s logic level voltage. An I2C device that operates at 3.3V could be damaged if connected to the Arduino. But I2C devices can operate at a range of different logic level voltages. The Arduino outputs I2C signals at a 5V logic level. Pull-up resistors are used to keep both wires in a HIGH state by default. The SCL line carries the clock signal used for communication timing. The SDA wire is used for sending the actual data back and forth between the master and slave devices. The BusĪn I2C bus is simply two wires that connect all of the I2C devices in the network. When sending data on the bus, only one device can send data at a time. Slave devices respond to whatever a master device sends. Master devices can send and receive data. The I2C address makes it possible for a master device to send data to a particular slave device on the bus. Slave DevicesĮach slave device has an I2C address that is used to identify the device. I2C networks can have multiple master devices and slave devices. The master and slave devices are connected by a bus. The I2C NetworkĪn I2C network consists of a master device and a slave device. It covers all of the steps, diagrams, and code you need to get started.
