I2C

The I2C module supports the I2C protocol. I2C bus has two signals - SDA and SCL.

• On Tizen, the bus number is defined in this documentation.

i2c.open(configuration, callback)

• configuration {Object} Configuration for open I2CBus.
  • device {string} Device path. (only on Linux)
  • bus {number} The specified bus number. (Tizen, TizenRT and NuttX only)
  • address {number} Device address.
• callback {Function}
  • err {Error|null}
  • i2cBus {Object} An instance of I2CBus.
• Returns: {Object} An instance of I2CBus.

Get I2CBus object with configuration asynchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
i2c.open({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23}, function(err, wire) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
});

i2c.openSync(configuration)

• configuration {Object} Configuration for open I2CBus.
  • device {string} Device path. (only on Linux)
  • bus {number} The specified bus number. (Tizen, TizenRT and NuttX only)
  • address {number} Device address.
• Returns: {Object} An instance of I2CBus.

Get I2CBus object with configuration synchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
var wire = i2c.openSync({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23});

Class: I2CBus

i2cbus.read(length[, callback])

• length {number} Number of bytes to read.
• callback {Function}
  • err {Error|null}
  • res {Array} Array of bytes.

Read bytes from I2C device asynchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
i2c.open({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23}, function(err, wire) {
  wire.read(2, function(err, res) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log('read result: ' + res);
    }
  });
});

i2cbus.readSync(length)

• length {number} Number of bytes to read.
• Returns: {Array} Array of bytes.

Read bytes from I2C device synchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
var wire = i2c.openSync({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23});
var res = wire.readSync(2);
console.log(res);

i2cbus.write(bytes[, callback])

• bytes {Array} Array of bytes to write.
• callback {Function}
  • err {Error|null}

Write bytes to I2C device asynchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
i2c.open({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23}, function(err, wire){
  wire.write([0x10], function(err) {
    if(!err) {
      console.log('write done');
    }
  });
});

i2cbus.writeSync(bytes)

• bytes {Array} Array of bytes to write.

Write bytes to I2C device synchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
var wire = i2c.openSync({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23});
wire.writeSync([0x10]);

i2cbus.close([callback])

• callback {Function}
  • err {Error|null}

Close I2C device asynchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
i2c.open({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23}, function(err, wire) {
  wire.close();
});

i2cbus.closeSync()

Close I2C device synchronously.

Example

var i2c = require('i2c');
var wire = i2c.openSync({device: '/dev/i2c-1', address: 0x23});
wire.closeSync();
