[En-Nut-Discussion] TWI and Ethernut

[Bernard Fouché]

FYI we use here very often I2C/TWI with Ethernet 2.1b as an I2C master 
with different I2C slaves (I/O expanders like PCF8574 or ADC like 
ADS7828) and it works fine. If you are using a multi-threaded 
application, think about using some semaphore to handle the bus sharing 
if needed.

The API is simple to use, however the I2C addresses will be left shifted 
once by the underlying code. So if your target I2C address is, for 
instance 0x4E, you must provide to the API 0x4E>>1, hence 0x27. Using 
slow transmission speed and an oscilloscope makes it easy to check the 
I2C transaction if the target device does not answer.

Don't forget the pull-ups on SDA and SCL.

Regards,
