Paweł Spychalski build a photoresistor based daylight meter sensor connected via I2C bus using ATtiny85: I love AVR ATtinyx5 series microcontrollers. They are cheap, easy to use, they can be programmed just like Arduinos and comparing to their size they offer great features. For...

A Raspberry PI RF frequency counter project from Scott Harden, that is available on GitHub: Raspberry PI RF Frequency Counter with Python Interface. The RF signal clocks a 32-bit counter (SN74LV8154) connected to a 16-bit IO expander (MCP23017) accessable to the Raspberry Pi (via...

byteparadigm.com has a nice introductory article on I2C and SPI protocols: Today, at the low end of the communication protocols, we find I²C (for ‘Inter-Integrated Circuit’, protocol) and SPI (for ‘Serial Peripheral Interface’). Both protocols are well-suited for...

The Tiny Lisp Computer is a self-contained computer programmed in Lisp. Some programming examples are included in the author's website. This article describes a self-contained computer with its own display and keyboard, based on an ATmega328, that you can program in Lisp. You can use...

If your application requires a changing supply voltage, then this new IC is ideal for you. Intersil announced the ISL91128, a new buck-boost regulator. The new regulator has an I2C interface to select a broad set of features including output voltage range and slew rate. This eliminates...

Davide Gironi has posted an I2C multiple HD44780 AVR Atmega library: This library implements a driver for HD44780 lcd connected through PCF8574 port expander. Data is transmitted using only 2 wire over i2c with the PCF8574. This library can drive up to 8 LCD concurrently. Lcd...

circuitbasics.com talks about the I2C protocol, it's use and it's advantages and disadvantages. I2C combines the best features of SPI and UARTs. With I2C, you can connect multiple slaves to a single master (like SPI) and you can have multiple masters controlling single, or multiple...

bitknitting.wordpress.com documented his efforts to transmit data over the I2C interface and analyze traffic using a USB login analyzer. The goal of this post is to transmit data over the I2C interface. Confirmation that the data was transferred will be output of the SDA/SCL lines...
