I2C Communication

Communication using the I2C interface

I2C, or Inter-Integrated Circuit, is a chip-to-chip interface supporting two-wire communication. You can connect to I2C peripheral devices and read from and write to them. Create the interface object using the device function with an aardvark or ni845x object.

To use the I2C interface, you must have either a Total Phase® Aardvark I2C/SPI™ Host Adapter or an NI™ USB-8451 or USB-8452 I2C/SPI Interface Device installed.
