I2C and GPIO.

Hi All,



I am going to control a module that provides I2C and GPIO interface.



About 10 registers ( 8 bit per register ).



The most complex algorithm in this control code is


A / 1024 , or B / 8192 ...etc ( need fraction to 0.xxx ( 3 ) )



Question: I know how to implement it with I2C ( just feds register data)



but



for 3 GPIO control...does it mean I have to provide Clock by myself? and others?



Thank you very much for your advice!



Best regards, Boki.

Boki,

You are talking in riddles again. Are you trying to implement I2C with 3 GPIO pins? If so, then yes it's easy. Have a look at avrfreaks.net, lots of good stuff there. Otherwise try Google.

Yep, he needs an assistant (

Hi John,

Sorry.

The module provides I2C and GPIO interface both.

Due to I only know I2C control, if I have to use GPIO, I does it mean I have to use serial port?

so...I have many question here:

  1. The most of MCU provides UART interface, am I right? could you advice the speed.
  2. If I use I2C as interface, does it means I have to add another I2C chip?
  3. If I use GPIO as interface, does it means I just choose a MCU with UART?
  4. How default is that implement a I2C without I2C chip ( by GPIO directly ).

BR /Boki.
