Better said, whenever the Arduino receives a character on I2C, it will run the function we tell it to run: Wire.onReceive(receiveEvent) Īnd this is the function.While working on porting Wall-E2’s ‘second deck’ hardware (VL53L0X array and LIDAR) to Wall_E3, I started running into problems associated with using Wire1 on the main Teensy 3.5 master processor to communicate with the Teensy 3.5 slave processor that manages the seven VL53L0X time-of-flight distance sensors.

The following function appends a trigger function whenever a character is received. Now we need to react somehow when we receive an I2C transmission. All devices with address 9 will receive the transmission. The number in the argument is the address we want to use for the Arduino. We also include the Wire.h library here, but now we start the I2C bus using Wire.begin(9). Now let's explore the slave Arduino code. We use the following functions to begin a transmission to the device with the address 9, write the character, and then stop the transmission: Wire.beginTransmission(9) // transmit to device #9 Lastly, we send a character x, which is between 0 and 5. If no argument is provided in the function, Arduino will start as a master. Then, in the setup function, we begin the I2C bus using the Wire.begin() function.

We need to include the required Wire.h library: #include If value received is 3 blink LED for 400 msįirst, let's look at the master. If value received is 0 blink LED for 200 ms X = Wire.read() // read one character from the I2C Attach a function to trigger when something is received. Start the I2C Bus as Slave on address 9 If (x > 5) x = 0 // `reset x once it gets 6Īnd here is the slave code that interprets the characters sent from the master: // Include the required Wire library for I2C#include

Wire.endTransmission() // stop transmitting Wire.beginTransmission(9) // transmit to device #9 First, let's take a look at the master code: // Include the required Wire library for I2C#include The following code is split in two parts: the master code and the slave code, which run on two different Arduinos.
