// I2C to USB Adapter using Arduino | |
// by Bernhard Kraft <kraftb@think-open.at> | |
/** | |
* This sketch can get loaded onto an Arduino to use it as USB to I2C Adapter. | |
* It uses the Wire library. So take a look at the documentation of the Wire | |
* libarary about the pins being used as SDA/SCL. For most Arduino boards this | |
* will be analog input pin 4 for SDA and analog input pin 5 for SCL. | |
* | |
* On the USB side the default serial link of the Arduino is used. A protocol | |
* is defined which allows to perform xfer operations on the I2C bus. The | |
* protocol defines messages which get sent from the PC to the Arduino and | |
* which get answered by a reply from the Arduino. So the communication is | |
* bounded in blocks. | |
* | |
* It is clear that there needs to be a way to synchronize the PC and the | |
* Arduino. For this purpose the <ESC> character (0x1B, .27) is used as RESET | |
* character. Whenever it is received by the Arduino it goes into a defined | |
* state. | |
* | |
* Having only this convention would disallow the <ESC> character in payload | |
* data. So another character is used to quote/escape the <ESC> character. This | |
* character is the "\" character (0x5C, .92). To send a literal <ESC> value | |
* the sequence "0x5C 0xB1" has to get sent (0xB1 is the <ESC> character 0x1B | |
* with its nibbles exchanged). To send a literal "\" character the sequence | |
* "0x5C 0xC5" has to get sent. For all other combinations of "0x5C" with | |
* another character an error is generated (except for "0x5C 0x1B" which is an | |
* error being signaled after the "\"). | |
* | |
* When an error is encountered the Arduino sends an <ESC> character (0x1B, not | |
* the escape sequence) and stops further processing of serial data until it | |
* gets reset by a <ESC> character from the PC. | |
* | |
* The exception mentioned above for the sequence "0x5C 0x1B" results from | |
* the fact, that 0x1B is the RESET character. So it is possible to cause | |
* a RESET when a quote character has already been sent. | |

I don't think this code is in a usable state. It could serve as a good basis for further work, maybe.
You can type "I" ( capitial letter i ) and get the ident string back at the monitor window. However, if you need to set the address to send it takes the next BYTE as the address. There is no conversion of ASCII to byte so you have to try to type a char which matches your address. If your device is at 0x30 for example you are in luck, you type a zero, but if you want to use the general address #0 or some other it could be tricky.
similarly the command byte you send could be anything and is unlikely to be a typeable character.
... any data you want to send will require decoding something you can type into a terminal window into a single byte. ...
Six people have "forked" this but they all seem identical clones. No one has got any further.
